    A video was making rounds in Facebook yesterday where a non-Filipino man was found floating alive in the middle of the sea between Dumaguete and Siquijor. Is he from around Dumaguete?

    He is one lucky guy to have been found and rescued by the ferry as the tides are quite strong out there! Have also seen this guy around the place.

    I'm sure curious how he got there and where the life ring came from.. However he got there, he is one lucky guy to be spotted and rescued, I'm sure if he wasn't spotted by a very alert guy with very sharp eyes, the strong current would have carried him to his death.

    Job well done both surviving and to the rescuers.....

    Good point, I didn't think of that one. If that's the case at least his fare was already paid.:happy:

    I wouldn't think so. First thing you should do when you fall in the water is remove your shoes and pants if you have any. They make it really hard to swim and you can use your pants as a make-shift flotation device (tie off the leg openings and force air into your pants...but in his case he had shorts on). I didn't see a bottle of water until he was on the boat, someone could have handed him that.

    Filipinos in the comments are trying to say he is the Italian kidnapped from Dipolog but the guys accent sounded very North American to me. I find it odd that when they asked him what happened he said "I don't now". How do you not know how you ended up floating in the ocean half way between Dumaguete and Siquijor? The only way I wouldn't say what happened is if I was delirious from exhaustion (possible in his case I guess) or I had done something really stupid.
