MANILA, Philippines—An eight year old boy in Zambales was electrocuted when an electrical transmission line of the National Power Corporation (NPC) fell on him after exploding Thursday.

The transmission line of the NPC inside the Ramon Magsaysay Elementary School in Barangay (village) San Juan, Castillejos, Zambales, exploded at around 4:30 p.m. Thursday, a report of the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council said Friday.
