A Philippine coast guard vessel deployed to conduct a rescue operation puts out the fire with water cannon as a passenger ferry carrying around 120 people catches fire at sea on Sunday morning while travelling to Bohol province, Philippines.

The Philippines' coast guard says all people on board the ill-fated vessel have been rescued. It took the Philippine coast guard over five hours to extinguish the fire.
