PH Coast Guard rescues 9 stranded fishermen off Bataan
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) rescued nine fishermen from the distressed fishing boat Seriako 1 off the coast of Bataan over the weekend.
The PCG vessel BRP Cape San Agustin responded to a distress call and found the fishing boat Seriako 1 adrift on Sunday afternoon.
All nine crew members were safely brought aboard the PCG vessel for medical assessment, with two receiving first aid for minor injuries.
The Seriako 1 experienced engine failure on Thursday while returning from a fishing expedition near Bajo de Masinloc, leaving the crew stranded at sea for several days.
The PCG initially towed the Seriako 1 towards Mariveles, Bataan.
The towing operation was handed over to another fishing vessel, FV Jasmine Rose, on Monday morning, which completed the tow to Barangay Sisiman, Mariveles.
