Missing security guard found dead

• GILBERT P. BAYORAN

A security guard was found dead yesterday within the territorial waters of Sitio Sibucao, Brgy. Bango, Bacolod City, after he was reported missing for more than five hours.

The body of Glenn Cahaponon, 36, of Prk Lison, Brgy. 1, Bacolod City, who drowned in the waters of Sitio Sibucao, Bacolod, was reported by the Philippine Coast Guard to have been recovered at 1:35 p.m. yesterday.

PCG investigations showed that Cahaponon, who was accompanied by his companions, Ernesto Roque and Brian Jason Sabio, was on board a motorboat at the vicinity of Sitio Sibucao territorial waters when he went for a swim.

While having a swim, Cahaponon drifted away from the motorboat due to a strong current. His companion, Roque, failed to locate and rescue him despite his best efforts, according to the Coast Guard.

The help of Coast Guard was sought to locate the victim, whose body was later found about two nautical miles from the Sibucao coastal area.*
