At least five people were killed in two separate maritime incidents, authorities said on Sunday. A passenger was killed while another remained missing after a fire engulfed the m/v Mama Mary Chloe, which was carrying 157 passengers, including 15 children, along with eight crew, from Ubay in Bohol to Bato on the nearby island of Leyte. Rescuers plucked 163 passengers and crew from the waters off the central island of Bohol, the Philippine Coast Guard said, as they searched for one missing passenger.
