In Cambodia's Kandal province, three teenagers lost their lives after drowning while playing in the water.

So far, I only have good post-mortem images on one of the victims, and videos of two of them being pulled out of the water. Maybe more will surface.

Can any of our in-house Filipinos explain why all the funeral decorations/headstones/coffin draperies are always in English?

My wife tells me that English is a de facto lingua franca in much of the Philippines. Even though Tagalog is the "official" language, it is in fact only the dialect of the Manila region. Many Filipinos in the provinces speak better English than Tagalog, although their own regional dialect predominates. There are so many different regional languages that English is often the bridge.

So did a RIP current get them?

Huh. Very interesting.

Especially because the Phillippines were Spanish for centuries, then America took over the Phillippines at the same time they took over Puerto Rico, in 1898, and then the Phillippines went independent in the 1950's. But Spanish is the lingua franca here and English, while commonly spoken by the educated who went to private school, is not universal in any meaningful sense. I wonder why Spanish stuck on here and not there.
