ORMOC CITY— Rescuers recovered Monday the body of a 15-year-old girl, who went missing while swimming in a resort here during a birthday party a day before.

The fatality was identified as Jessa Mae de Paz, resident of Sante Fe, Leyte. She was with her relatives to celebrate the 60th birthday of Sylvia Suyom at Caunte Resort Barangay Bislig, Tanuan town, Leyte on Sunday.
