DOTC-PCG: The cadaver of a 14-year old girl was recovered yesterday by the Coast Guard and Bantay Dagat personnel about 500 meters away from Bredco Port near Sea Oil Depot, Reclamation Area, Bacolod City.

The victim identified as Nene Sumiguin reportedly went fishing with Rudy Fernandez, 21 years old, at the vicinity waters of Bredco Port. The boat later encountered big waves causing it to capsize.

According to Fernandez, he and Sumiguin attempted to swim back to the shoreline but the latter disappeared.

The incident was reported by a certain Joel Bonza of Purok Balinday, Barangay 2, Bacolod City to the Coast Guard Station (CGS) Bacolod who immediately dispatched the personnel of Coast Guard Sub-Station (CGSS) Bredco to conduct a search and rescue operation in the area.

A SAR operation by the team and some residents of Barangay 2 yielded negative results due to unfavorable sea condition.

Sumuguin's body was found yesterday by the Coast Guard and Bantay Dagat personnel at 2:15PM and was brought to Rolling Hills Funeral Homes for proper disposition.
