BREAKING: There are 14 Filipino crew missing after fishing boat Liberty Cinco collides with a Chinese cargo ship off Occidental Mindoro.
MANILA, Philippines – Fourteen Filipinos went missing in the waters off Cape Calavite, Occidental Mindoro, after their boat collided with a Chinese cargo vessel before dawn on Sunday, June 28, the Philippine Coast Guard Southern Tagalog confirmed to Rappler.
The company started searching for the boat after it missed its scheduled radio call to port, and failed to pull into the Navotas Fish Port when it was expected at 7 am. The boat's capsized hull was spotted at around 10 am, but there were no signs of the 12 fishing crew and two other Irma employees who had been onboard the Liberty Cinco.
PCG divers arrived to inspect the capsized boat at around 4 pm, but did not find the missing crew. There was major damage on the boat, with the middle section of its hull badly caved in, Soto said, citing the report from the divers.
