MANILA, Philippines - The body of a teenager who reportedly drowned while swimming in a creek in Manila Friday was found floating in Pasig River a day later, police said yesterday.

Jelamil Galarita, 14, was fished out near Jones Bridge at around 3 p.m. Saturday. The girl, a resident of Muelle de Binondo, was last seen alive by her mother, Manuela, Friday morning.

“The mother told us that she (victim) went swimming in the creek with a friend. Jelamil and her friend had since been missing, that’s why her mother already sought help from the barangay,” Ocampo said in a phone interview.
