Full-blast search operations had resumed Wednesday morning for students still missing in Madlum River.

A report by GMA News' Isay Reyes on "Saksi" Tuesday night identified the other missing students as Madel Navarro, and Maico Bartolome.

More than 100 tourism students of Bulacan State University had gone to Madlum Cave and Madlum River Tuesday as part of their field trip.

The school said the students who joined the field trip went on a voluntary basis. — Joel Locsin /LBG, GMA News
