Coast Guard authorities have seen no signs of life in the search for 14 people who went missing during a collision last weekend between a fishing boat and a Hong Kong cargo vessel off Occidental Mindoro south of Manila. But PCG commandant Vice Admiral George Ursabia Jr. told a news conference Tuesday their personnel remained hopeful they would find the missing persons. “No signs of survivors and life. But we are hopeful, with the strong southwest monsoon, we are anticipating that some of them have reached the coast line of Mindoro,” he said, adding residents of Mindoro's coastal communities had been alerted.
