At least 40 fishermen are still missing, but hundreds of others miraculously survived to tell the story of their worst nightmare at sea as “Butchoy,” now officially a typhoon, continues to skim the country’s eastern coast.
Eight public school teachers were rescued by the Philippine Coast Guard Friday night after the engine of their boat conked out under heavy rain in rough seas churned up by Tropical Storm Butchoy.
Except for an afternoon shower in the summer capital, the sun shone bright here, as well as in Pangasinan, Isabela and Bulacan on Saturday, the day rains accompanying Typhoon Butchoy were expected to drench northwestern Luzon.
