The Philippine Coast Guard is searching for 14 people missing since a fishing boat and cargo ship collided in choppy waters two nights ago.
It was not immediately clear if the fishing boat sank and the search for its occupants was being hampered by strong waves, officials said.
The Philippine Coast Guard said the cargo ship MV Vienna Wood, which was en route to Australia, collided with the FV Liberty 5 after midnight in the early morning hours of Sunday.
The Hong Kong-flagged cargo ship reported the collision, but authorities were not yet sure what led to the incident.
