DAGUPAN CITY, Pangasinan — After being adrift at sea for three days, 15 fishermen were rescued in the waters off Agno town last weekend, the Coast Guard said.
Their boat, the FB Aqua Princess, capsized when it encountered big waves on Oct. 7.
Crew members of the passing Panamanian bulk carrier, the MV Kumano Maru, found and rescued the fishermen some 139 kilometers (75 nautical miles) west of Agno town on Oct. 10.
They handed over the fishermen to the BRP Malapascua, which was in the waters off Bagac, Bataan province, on Sunday.
