TAGBILARAN CITY –– A fisherman, who was reported missing on Tuesday night, was found alive on Wednesday afternoon.
Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) personnel rescued Ruben Orias Rosello, 42, a resident of Barangay Triana, Limasawa Island in Southern Leyte, while floating at sea off Anda town in Bohol.
Rosello went fishing on Tuesday night when his motorized banca encountered engine trouble, according to 3rd Class Officer Ronel Banol of the PCG-Candijay substation.
Rosello was brought to an isolation facility in Barangay Talisay in Anda while waiting for Limasawa Island officials to fetch him.
Banol reminded fishermen to be careful whenever they set sail out to sea.
