A confrontation between two men in Purok Masipag, Barangay Antipuluan, Narra, southern Palawan, escalated into a bolo attack at around 8:20 p.m. last night, July 16.
The victim was identified as Dirk Delfin, 33, while the suspect, a neighbor, was identified as alias Rod, 62.
The altercation is said to have stemmed from a long-standing grudge between the two, which led to an exchange of harsh words.
The suspect left and returned with a bolo, attacking the victim and striking him on the head.
The victim was immediately taken to Narra Municipal Hospital. However, last night he was advised to be transferred to a hospital in Puerto Princesa City for more intensive treatment.
The suspect, who was found to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the attack, has been arrested.
