Subic Bay Freeport — A fisherman was rescued by the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) and the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on the waters of Subic Bay on Monday morning.

According to SBMA Senior Deputy Administrator (SDA) for Port Operations Ronnie Yambao, the fisherman was identified as Ceasar Broñola, a 58-year-old resident of Sitio Agusuhin, Cawag, Subic Zambales.

The fisherman was successfully rescued after his boat capsized at the West Breakbulk Head Marine Terminal NSD.
