ROSARIO, Cavite – A woman supervisor reportedly committed suicide last Monday night by hanging herself inside a rented boarding house at Cavite College of Arts and Trades (CCAT) compound in Barangay Tejeros Convention, this municipality, police reported Tuesday.
There were at least seven suicide incidents that were reported in the whole Cavite province this month, Police Provincial Office (PPO) reports showed.
