Two women were reported dead after the motor banca they were riding sank in waters near Laoang, Northern Samar on Sunday.
According to a Balitanghali report on Wednesday, the bodies of the two victims, aged 68 and 50, were found floating in the water.
The victims were among eight passengers of the ill-fated water craft, which was reportedly bound for Batag Island.
Investigation conducted by the Laoang Police revealed the Philippine Coast Guard did not permit the voyage due to the inclement weather and large waves, which caused the sinking.
The other six passengers of the motor banca were rescued and in safe condition.
