Philippine fisherman killed by shark

A Philippine fisherman was attacked by a shark near Paoay, Ilocos Norte. Joel Bacud was checking his nets, and according to his son, was climbing back into their banca carrying  a fish that was “dripping blood” when the shark attacked him from behind.  The police chief didn’t know what type of shark it was, and no-one in the town can remember any similar attack.

There is an article in the Hong Kong Standard, plus another on SunStar’s website.
