BACOLOD CITY, Philippines—The remains of two more fishermen missing since typhoon Frank (international codename: Fengshen) hit Negros Occidental in late June were found on Wednesday by divers off the coast of Alotayan Island near Roxas City, Capiz, the CYC Fish Venture spokesman said.
The still unidentified bodies were found inside the FB Mercury, one of the fishing vessels from Cadiz City that had sunk while seeking shelter from the typhoon, Robert Puey of CYC Fish Venture said.
Puey said they were still waiting for the help promised by the Negros Occidental and Cadiz City governments to defray their expenses since the tragedy struck the area's fishing industry.
Puey added they were processing the requirements for the loans promised by the national government to rehabilitate Cadiz City's fishing industry.
