The victim was identified as Ian Perez, 27, a resident of Brgy. Dumangeña, Narra, and his passenger June Amar, 22, a resident of Jose Rizal, Aborlan, in the southern part of Palawan.
A police report stated that the victims were coming from Dumangueña, exiting the national highway when a cow suddenly crossed and collided with the motorcycle carrying them.
