MANILA (AFP): A Korean tourist drowned while snorkeling off a popular Philippine resort town south of here, the coast guard said yesterday.

Lee Kyung Hoon, whose age and hometown in South Korea were not immediately available, was snorkeling with two Korean friends off the resort of Puerto Galera when he drowned last Friday, coast guard operations center officer-in-charge Joseph delos Reyes said.

His body was recovered several hours after, he added.
