A cargo ship smashed into a small fishing boat in Manila Bay, causing the fishing boat to sink and leaving nine of its 21 crew members missing, AP quoted Philippine authorities as saying. Coast guard spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Armand Balilo says the incident occurred late Wednesday off Cavite province, south of Manila. He said Thursday that nine members of the fishing boat's crew were still missing. The other 12 were rescued by another fishing vessel. Cavite Gov. Jonvic Remulla told ANC Television that the wooden-hulled fishing boat sank immediately after being hit.
