LEGAZPI CITY ,Philippines  – A total of nine bodies have been recovered off Masbate, after the bodies of five more men were found floating in the coastal waters of Barangay Ubo in Balud town yesterday by a joint Navy-Coast Guard team.

Coast Guard Bicol officer-in-charge Romel Mandreza said the bodies remain unidentified but they believe that they are among the missing fishermen aboard a ship, which sank off Masbate at the height of tropical storm “Juaning.”

Mandreza said the bodies were brought to Villafuerte Funeral Homes in Balud.

“We are apprehensive that anybody would have difficulty in identifying these bodies as they are already bloated and started to decompose,” he said.
