Hi! I would like to request for the statistics of the number of drowning cases in the Philippines from 01/01/2015 to 12/30/2019. The said information will be of great help on our Thesis Paper. I am an Electronics Engineering student and my thesis team is currently studying how innovative engineering can be of help with rescuing drowning victims underwater. This additional information will strengthen and validate our thesis objective.

Looking forward to a positive response! Thank you!
