A Good Samaritan managed to save the lives of two of the victims as they were rescued and sent to the St. Luke Hospital for treatment before a search team immediately jumped into the sea in an attempt to retrieve the bodies throughout the night but their efforts yielded no result.

The total number of bodies retrieved as of Tuesday morning is 12 with two females and 10 males.
