Dominador said the search for the remaining two missing, namely Anthony Bartolome, 14; and Jhay-R Besonia, 22, is on-going.

Anthony and Jhay-R were already confirmed dead after their bodies were initially found in Manigonigo Island, Carles and were tied at the motor banca but were swept away by the strong waves.

On-going search and retrieval operation is being conducted by the local governments of Carles, Estancia and Concepcion, and the Iloilo Provincial Bantay Dagat.

To recall, the victims and the survivors were on board a motor banca from island-barangay of Asluman, where they spent their New Year and were already on their way home to another island-barangay of Lantangan, all in Carles, when their boat capsized after they tried to rescue Jhay-R who fell from the boat.
