PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Palawan -- Tropical Storm Vinta’s death toll on Mangsee Islands, Balabac, in the southern-most tip of Palawan, jumped to eight, while the number of missing persons climbed to 81 as of Tuesday afternoon.

Balabac Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (MDRRMO) chief Mitra Tanjilani said in a text message that the bodies of the five victims were found near the coastlines.

Meanwhile, most of the missing persons are crewmen of four trawl fishing vessels and of a motorboat reported to be either totally damaged or lost at sea after the storm onslaught on December 24.

Identified as either missing or damaged vessels are the MV Rosario, Lucas, Santa Valor, and Miguel. Three pump boats reported to have sailed from the nearby town of Rizal are also missing but 19 crewmen survived, Tanjilani said.

The MDRRMO initially reported three dead and 30 people missing as “Vinta’ made a landfall in southern Palawan, a day before Christmas.

 Of the earlier reported 30 missing residents, 13 were accounted for as of Tuesday. They are being attended to of the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office.

 Tanjilani said the survivors were found in Mapun, Tawi-Tawi.

 Palawan Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (PDRRMO) officer-in-charge Cruzalde Ablaña said a Philippine Navy (PN) vessel, BRP Andres Bonifacio (FF-17), sailed at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday towards Balabac to bring relief food and non-food items to affected families. (PNA)

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.
