DAVAO CITY — One of the missing crew members of a fishing boat that sank off Baganga, Davao Oriental on Thursday has been found dead on Friday, raising the death toll to two, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. Seven crewmen of F/B Genesis 2 remain unaccounted for after the 138-ton vessel was battered by big waves and sank at least 182 nautical miles (337 kilometers) east of Baganga, according to Apprentice Seaman Sherwin Casumbal of PCG Davao Oriental. At least 14 others were rescued as a Coast Guard patrol ship, BRP Tubbataha, joined a flotilla of 20 fishing boats to locate the missing crew members of the ill-fated vessel, Casumbal told the Inquirer by phone.
