Twenty-one Palawan fishermen who went missing last week after their boat sank off the Kalayaan group of islands were rescued by Navy personnel yesterday.
Lt. Col. Edgard Arevalo, Navy spokesman, said the crewmen of F/B Lester, which capsized in the vicinity of Sabina Shoal, were rescued off Lawak Island.
Another vessel, F/B Sherlyn 8, also helped in the rescue. – Arnell Ozaeta, James Mananghaya
