The local government of Tarangnan, Samar, and military personnel give the recovered remains – the lower body of a woman – a proper burial.
SAMAR, Philippines – Fishermen found debris of a motorized boat and the remains of a woman off the coast of Tarangnan, Samar, on Tuesday morning, August 23, the town’s disaster risk reduction office said.
The town is 16.9 km north of Catbalogan, the provincial capital, where task force officials on Monday, August 22, confirmed reports that a motorized boat being chased by military forces had exploded in nearby waters. While social media rumors circulated that the boat’s passengers were high-ranking officials of the Communist Party of the Philippines, JTF Storm said tipsters only mentioned armed individuals and did not identify them.
A cleric blessed the human body part that was placed in a crate by Philippine Coast Guard and police personnel who retrieved what the fisherfolk had found.
