At least 23 people have been killed and six others went missing when a boat capsized in a lake in Philippine, according to a media report on Friday.
The accident happened in the early afternoon on Thursday at Laguna Lake, near Manila, hours after Typhoon Doksuri had swept out of the northern part of the country.
“The boat had clearance to sail. There was no more storm in the area,” coastguard spokesman Rear Admiral Armando Balilo told reporters.
The passenger boat was making its regular run from the municipality of Binangonan to the island of Talim in the middle of the lake, municipality rescue official Kenneth Cirados told AFP.
