A teacher has been reportedly missing for five days and her disappearance went viral on social media because of the mystery of the case.
It can be recalled that the authorities and several groups launched a search and rescue operation for the missing teacher identified as Darlene Luzelle Uy who was last seen in Purok 8, Canlapwas, Catbalogan City on March 23.
Uy left her workstation around 3 p.m. only with her phone and P20 in hand and didn’t return since then.
The family of Uy offered a P250,000 reward to anyone who would help them to find the location of the teacher.
Fortunately, the search efforts for Uy bore fruit as the teacher has been found alive near Antiao River in the same barangay.
According to the authorities, she was found behind some trees beside the river and Uy was visibly weak but responsive when they discovered her.
Uy was also wearing her uniform when the search team found her.
As of writing Catbalogan PNP has yet to release a statement on why the teacher reached the river.
She’s now currently being treated at Catbalogan Hospital and is expected to give her testimony once she recovered.
