Susana said Paul was a “master diver” in the tourist island of Boracay so it came to a shock to her that he died at sea.
Susana said her son informed her at around 6 a.m. that he was going to the beach to swim.
Susana narrated that Paul was then seen by his younger brother early in the morning already floating head down along the shores of the beach.
Police have yet to give the cause of death but Susana suspected her son drowned probably because he suffered from cramps while he was swimming.
