Best Posts in Thread: Foreigner and 5 locals missing on fishing trip

Anyone heard anything about this on the media - seems to be mentopned only on Dumaguete FB page???

To all local DRRM officers, members, response teams, bantay dagat in Negros Oriental please be informed and take necessary actions for 6 missing persons as reported by Phil Coast Guard -Dumaguete.

A banca with 6 persons on board (with 1 american) departed from Dumaguete on 13 February, at 8am allegedly for the purpose of leisure fishing in the southern part of negros oriental.

Said banca has not yet returned and the persons on board could no longer be contacted thru their cell phones.

In view of this concern, OCD enjoined LDRRMCS to please report to the nearest Coast Guard station in your area if there are developments about the banca and the passengers.

For your appropriate action on this matter. Allen Cabaron, ocd7 optns. provl coordinator for negor and siquijo

 

My dad told once to my darling bana whenever we have troubles on the sea with a wooden local boat he has to tied me in one of the post, its not because I’m a normal pinay who doesn’t know how to swim but it is also a last resort to save a life. He is a mechanic with experienced on sailing a middle(lansa)poor local boat from Cebu down to Zamboanga in the 60-70’s, he had survived short days battling the nature and mental stability.

Because of local stories I haven’t gone sailing with our M23, I had her but without sails, we went on engine-a bloody second hand engine but I requested a very short distance and not in the open sea. Anyways, my darling bana is also married to the ocean so, all I have to do is pray whenever he will go far, he wants to go to Aliguay island and wants to take me, he has 6 emergency torches, 6life jackets,emergency kit, and etc! But still, because of this news, I will never go! NEVER..

Rest in Peace to the victims and condolences to their families..

From Siaton, Negros Oriental on February 13 and later found in Balabac, Palawan on February 28. What had really happened to the 28-footer motor banca carrying an American, his Filipina girlfriend and four other Filipinos? Now, the American and the girl have been buried in Barangay Mangsee in Balabac over the weekend after their decomposing were found. How about the other four men? Where are they? What has happened to them????

Not a Dicky Davy, not much is being said in the press that I can tell. and Stranger things have happened, If Abduction, Probably wont't hear until they try and sell the Boat.

But seriously I dare say there can't be too much Hope now if they are out in the open sea, it has been a few days
I read they were only equipped for a days Fishing is this right?

@Wrye83
I cant get into the Topic that Tony and Larry are updating daily, so I just posted what I could come up with at this time, I will see if my Connection Holds out to find the Latest and Post if that's OK with you. I sort of resurrected this so I could slip in this other thing that has never got a mention after the initial report but I have spoke to some, with Friends being a part of this family wise. There was me thinking this Fishing things was a Quiet, Friendly sort of Sport?
