MANILA, Philippines - Three boys died when lightning struck as they were swimming in the waters of Manila Bay off the Baseco Compound in Tondo, Manila during a heavy downpour Thursday.

The bodies of MJ Arigadas, 12; Nielson Huit, 13; and Rodrigo Rial, 17, were washed ashore and found at around 5 p.m. Thursday by security guard Cerilo Malamig, said Superintendent Albert Barrot of the Manila Police District Station 5.

They were rushed to the Gat Andres Hospital for treatment and released yesterday.
