Fishermen of Barangay Kalinawan in Binangonan, Rizal were the first responders in the rescue and retrieval efforts for the passengers of the commercial passenger boat that overturned in Laguna Lake killing close to 30 persons on Thursday, July 27. READ:
Barangay Kalinawan Chairman Virgilio Cerda told Manila Bulletin that the place of incident was only around 100 meters away from the shore of his village prompting his co-villagers, majority of whom are boatmen, to rush to the scene of the incident upon seeing the hull of M/B Princess Arya, a passenger boat, protruding from the water and a few people swimming to the shore shortly around 1 p.m. on Thursday.
According to Cerda, there were 29 fatalities and 39 survivors based on the statements he gathered from the Coast Guard and the local rescue personnel at the scene of the incident. He said among the fatalities were a boy and a girl whose relative was also among those who perished in the boat tragedy. Videos on the lake accident which were posted by netizens on social media sites showed that the cadavers that were retrieved had no life jacket on.
