The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) was searching on Monday, June 29, for 14 people missing since a fishing boat and cargo vessel collided in choppy waters two nights earlier. It was not immediately clear if the fishing boat sank and the search for its occupants was being hampered by strong waves, officials said. The PCG said the cargo vessel M/V Vienna Wood collided with the FV Liberty 5 for unclear reasons after midnight in the early morning hours of Sunday about 27 kilometers (17 miles) off Mamburao town in Mindoro Occidental province south of the capital, Manila.
