Cebu-Bohol sea route claims another “jump-ship” victim
November 12, 2006 The Bohol Standard

It’s the second fatality in a span of two months for Bohol-bound passengers, reportedly jumping off from a cruising ship.

THE latest fatality was identified as 19-year old man Stephen Torrefiel who jumped off M/V Ara when the ship was along Gilutungan Channel on its way to Talibon, Bohol Monday night.

The first was reported last month when a detainee of the Bohol Detention and Rehabilitation Center was also reported to have jumped ship on its way back to Bohol from Cebu.

Both incidents are now being investigated by the Coast Guard of the Central-Eastern Visayas regional command.

Torrefiel reportedly jumped into water 1.5 nautical miles away from the shorelines of Cordova town.

The ship’s crew conducted a search and rescue operations delaying the ship for two hours. The body of Torrefiel was never found.

A Special Operation Group from the Coast Guard also proceeded to the place of incident but still no trace of the victim’s body was found. Heavy current might have swept the body into the open seas.

The investigation will focus on whether the victim accidentally fell or intentionally jumped-off from the ship.

Local residents of coastal towns along the route in the islands of Cebu and Bohol are requested to inform the Coast Guard any sighting of a floating body near their shores.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
