The fishermen, identified as Romeo H. Carta, Rojin A. Santillan, and Axel C. Gonzaga, all from Malayan, Batangas, were found floating in their bancas.

They were separated from their mother boat due to rough sea conditions.

The Marines provided the fishermen with essential aid, including food, water, and medical assistance.

The Philippine Navy was then contacted to facilitate the retrieval of the fishermen by their mother boat.

This rescue operation underscores the Philippine Marine Corps' dedication to protecting lives and ensuring maritime security in the West Philippine Sea.
