BATANGAS, Philippines – A decomposing body believed to be that of a hiker missing since Easter Sunday was found on Mt. Maculot in Cuenca town here last Saturday morning, police said.

Police, however, said the body, found in a deep ravine, would have to undergo an autopsy before they could confirm if it belongs to 27-year-old Victor Joel Ayson.

The camera and shoes of Ayson though were found in the place where the body was found. Ayson’s parents and girlfriend also said the man’s clothes fit the missing hiker, police said.
