A 65-year-old Hong Kong holidaymaker was missing last night after the motorboat in which she was travelling capsized and sank in the Philippines.
Poon Po-chun was among a tour group of eight Hong Kong women and two Philippine guides travelling from Talisay town to a volcanic island in the middle of Lake Taal, just south of Manila, at about 1.30pm.
Fishermen managed to rescue everyone but her when the boat overturned in strong winds and heavy waves. The tour group was taken back to Talisay, 65 km south of Manila.
Talisay police chief Ruel Esparas, who directed the rescue operation, said they were treated for bruises although one woman was said to have remained in St Andrew's Hospital with chest pains.
The rescued women were named as Kwong Wai-hing, Tse Lan-ying, Cheung Sau-tzu, Law Bik-ha, Wong Ying-ling, Yau Wai-Nga and Fu Sheung-lai.
'All their conditions have been reported to be good. I believe they were able to return to their hotel later,' Senior Inspector Esparas said.
The women were on a holiday organised by Kwan Kin Travel Services.
