00:00Two people were confirmed dead after a barge and tugboat washed away the water in Marikina River last week.
00:08Two more are being searched by the authorities.
00:10Here is my first report.
00:16When the barge and tugboat washed away the water in Marikina River
00:21due to the heavy rain last week,
00:24there were casualties.
00:25The authorities immediately reported that all passengers were saved.
00:30The 47-year-old Chief Engineer Renato Santiago-Cortez
00:35was buried here in Santo Domingo Church.
00:38While they were being washed away by the heavy rain,
00:41the video was sent to Engineer Cortez
00:44by his wife Virginita who was in Masbate.
00:47But Cortez was not saved after jumping into the river from the tugboat.
00:52His wife could not believe what happened.
00:56I thought that when I was watching TV, my husband was not there.
01:01Because in the news, all the guards were saved.
01:08When I called the office, my husband was with the missing person.
01:13Almost when we found out that day, we did not eat anymore.
01:19When I saw my husband's face, he was like that.
01:28Virginita asked the company where her husband works
01:31to pay all the expenses for the burial,
01:34the return of Labi to Masbate,
01:36and the education of their five children.
01:39In Barangay Pineda in Pasig City,
01:41the people of Bureau of Fire Protection,
01:44Marine Fire Search and Rescue Pasig,
01:46found Labi, another driver known as Harold Yap.
01:49He was very strong last August.
01:51That was one of the reasons why he was having a hard time swimming
01:55and not being able to swim.
01:58That's why he was in the middle of drowning.
02:01Two more people were missing,
02:03Norman Aportadora and Carlos Bernado.
02:06The Philippine Coast Guard is now conducting a marine safety investigation
02:10to investigate the incident.
02:12And they are still looking for the floating asset
02:15to help in the search and rescue operation
02:17for the two missing drivers
02:19who drowned and jumped from a barge and tugboat in Marikina River.
02:23We are sincere that we will find their missing family.
