BACOLOD CITY – Three fishermen from Barangay Culipapa, Hinoba-an, Negros Occidental were rescued by a Singaporean-flagged bulk carrier while adrift off Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte on Sunday.
A report from the Philippine Coast Guard District Western Visayas (CGDWV) stated that the fishermen had been stranded at sea for two days and one night after their fishing boat, MB Princess Henna, sank.
An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the sinking.
Following a medical assessment, the rescued fishermen were escorted to the Coast Guard Station Northern Negros Occidental for safe turnover to their families.
Commander Jan Terazona, deputy commander of CGDWV, together with Ensign El John Ga, deputy station commander for administration of Coast Guard Station Iloilo, praised the crew of MV MAUD for their “commendable humanitarian act and outstanding seamanship” in rescuing the distressed Filipino fishermen in the Sulu Sea.
