Hopes dimmed for a Japanese tourist who went missing while swimming at a beach resort Barangay Urbiztondo, here, Sunday night, even as search-and-rescue operations widened Tuesday.

Chief Inspector Marlon Peste, local police chief, said there was no sign of 54-year-old Nobory Herai, a native of Okayama City, Okayama, Japan, who was vacationing in this town with his friend and countryman Takashi Ouchi, 40.

A separate report referred to the victim’s surname as “Hitai.”

Based on Ouchi’s statement, Peste said the two Japanese tourists arrived here Sunday afternoon from Manila.

They immediately went swimming late in the afternoon until around 7:30 p.m. when Ouchi left Herai in the water to have a cigarette at the resort’s parking lot.

Peste said that when Ouchi returned to the beach to check on his friend, Herai was already missing, prompting him to alert resort staff.

Urbiztondo? Asa man ni?
