Hi, I am a faculty researcher from the University of San Carlos. I would like to ask from one your humble office if it would be possible for us to retrieve data with regards to lightning mortality cases from 2001 to 2021. These include information on:
1. Date of incidence (day/month/year)
2. Province
3. Age
4. Gender (male/female)

If some of the information are not available. Any information with regards to lightning mortality cases would suffice. 

It would appreciated it if this request will not be redirected or forwarded to PAGASA since they do not have data for it. Thank you very much.
