At least five people died and another 87 are missing following a fire on a ferry in the western Philippines. The accident occurred near a tourist site in the province of Palawan.

The Philippine Coast Guard officially announced the toll of the tragedy. Rescue operations are ongoing to try to locate the missing.

The ferry was en route when the fire broke out, causing panic among the passengers on board. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the incident.

The region of Palawan is known to be a popular tourist destination, which may explain the presence of several passengers on board the vessel at the time of the accident.
