Search on for missing Chinese diver off Palawan


Philippine Navy officials in Palawan are searching for a Chinese diver who went missing off the Tubbataha Reef area after their boat encountered big waves and sank last weekend. The Naval Forces West said the diver, initially identified only as Chang, 44, disappeared after waves buffeted the boat carrying eight other passengers, radio dzBB’s Palawan affiliate reported. An initial information indicated the incident occurred last Saturday. So far, the boatman and seven other passengers of the boat had been rescued, even as a Navy Islander plane was dispatched to the area to look for Chang. — RSJ, GMA News
