Coast Guard: Search continues
for five Negrense fishermen

The body of a man found at the shorelines in Brgy. Punta Salong, Manapla town, Negros Occidental, Thursday has not been identified as of yesterday.

Philippine Coast Guard-Bacolod chief, Lt. Commander Dominador Senador, said that the family of missing fisherman Francis Jack Meniado, 50, of Brgy. Daan, Victorias, went to Manapla yesterday to check if the body found was his.

However, Meniado's wife, Jenny, said the body was not that of her husband's, who had been missing since Saturday after his boat capsized near the shoreline of Brgy. Daan Banwa, Victorias .

She told ABS-CBN that her husband was wearing a white shirt, while the body found in Sitio Ubay, Brgy. Salong, had a black one on.

Manapla town police commander, Chief Insp. Edencio Gregorio, said the man they found was about 30 years old.

The search continues for Meniado, Johnny “alias Panoy”, 33, and Roel “alias Bong-Bong”, 32, both surnamed Tupiz, of Brgy. Ginhulngan, Cauayan, and two more unidentified fishermen, in Hinigaran, the Coast Guard added.

Senador said the fishermen may have taken refuge in one of the islands scattered in the northern portion of Negros Occidental.*APN
