A six-months pregnant woman died after eleven days in a state of coma, following the bombing attack in Roxas Night
Market in Davao City last September 2.
Vicenta Depalubos Asperin is the 15th casualty in the
blast.
Asperin, 21, died at the Metro Davao Medical and
Research Center at around 10:17 pm of September 12. She was expecting a baby
girl.
Asperin died of heart failure and brain damage, the
City Social Services and Development Office (CSSDO) said, quoting a medical
report.
The child she was carrying also passed away, but the
death was counted as one since she was not separated from her mother.
"Based on the notes from the Local Civil
Registrar, the counting should be one because the unborn baby remained inside
the mother's womb. They were not separated," CSSDO chief Ma Luisa Bermudo
said.
Asperin’s brother claimed that the family is demanding
justice for what happened.
"I hope the people responsible are arrested and
that they are made to pay for what they have done. My sister didn't do them
wrong. She was innocent and she was pregnant. It is too much! They have to
pay,” he said.
