Reports gathered from the Kidapawan City Police Office showed the victim climbed the second floor of a neighbor's house used as welding shop at around 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Sugar started playing with an electric wire that was the main source of power.

She accidentally touched a live wire and got electrocuted. She then fell from the second floor, hitting her head on an iron bar.

The victim was immediately brought to the Kidapawan Doctors Hospital. Attending physicians were surprise to find her unscathed, apart from minor bruises she sustained from the fall.

According to Erlinda Guiao, the victim's neighbor, it was a miracle that Sugar survived the fall due to the intensity of the electric shock.
