Rescue teams are still looking for the body of a man who fell and drowned in a waterfall in Catanduanes last Thursday, the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council said.

NDRRMC Executive Director Benito Ramos said the local search and rescue team of Bato town and the Philippine Coast Guard have yet to recover the cadaver of Albert Balcueva, 28, of Binanuahan, Bato, Catanduanes.
