Nino town in Samar—identified as 52-year old Alejandro Solayao, 39-year old Sanieboy Ebayan, Joseph Immas, and Benedicto dela Paz, also both of Tacloban City, all of Tacloban City.

Their identities were confirmed by survivors who were among the 50 fishermen rescued in the town.

The fishermen came from various areas in Eastern Visayas. Their fishing vessels were damaged by the strong waves.

Police also reported on Wednesday that a fisherman drowned in Buenavista town of Marinduque. He was identified as Jovert Garay.

In Maasin City in Southern Leyte, 22-year old Marcelo Lolo was reported to have drowned while trying to save a floating cottage banging against the seawall due to rough waters.
