PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Palawan (PNA) – Crew members of the Philippine Navy (PN) frigate BRP Antonio Luna rescued a Filipino fisherman in a near-fatal accident in the waters near Sabina Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (WPS).
Commander Ariel Joseph Coloma, Armed Forces Western Command spokesman, said in an interview on Monday, September 18, that Sonny Agting’s leg was hit by the propeller of his boat as he was fishing on Sunday, September 17.
Capt. Clyde Domingo, the skipper of the frigate, reported to Wescom headquarters that his crew changed their route and steered toward the fishing boat's position immediately after receiving the call for help. "Despite our distance from the distressed fishing boat, we acted as fast as we could to provide immediate assistance to the injured Filipino fisherman," Domingo said.
