The body of another Filipino who died from the earthquake in Haiti was found Tuesday night, the local media reported.

Army Sergeant Eustacio Bermudez, a member of the Philippine peacekeeping contingent, is the third Filipino fatality in the magnitude-7 earthquake in Haiti, according to a report filed by the Inquirer.net Wednesday.

The first two Filipino casualties were identified as Jerome Yap, United Nations staff member serving with the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti; and Navy Petty Officer Pearlie Panangui, who worked as a data processing technician.

Still missing are Philippine peacekeeping contingent member Sergeant Janice Arocena; and Grace Fabian and Geraldine Lalican, who both worked at the collapsed Carribean Supermarket.

The Philippine foreign affairs department assured efforts are ongoing to rescue the three Filipinos.
