THE body of a ship crew that was reported missing Tuesday midnight was found early yesterday morning around 10 meters from the Polambato Port in Bogo City, northern Cebu.

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Cebu identified the fatality as Christopher Sixto of Batangas, an apprentice of MV Maria Natasha. Based on the report from PCG Cebu, the Masbate-bound ship was trying to release the ropes used for anchorage when it got tangled. Sixto tried to fix it but one of the ropes accidentally hit one of the engines. The rope was then cut, and it hit Sixto who fell on the water. /UP Cebu Intern Amy A. Macalinao
