Members of the Bureau of Fire Protection-Banaue and Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office as well as civilian volunteers scoured the mountain ranges of Barangays Cambulo and Pula to find the foreigners.
The Dutch tourists were brought to Manila in a commercial passenger bus.

A resident told police the tourists had rejected a guide that they offered.
