Posted by Three Indonesian fishermen who drifted from Indonesian waters were rescued along the coastline of Barangay Bobon, Mati City last July 17.
In a belated report, the Indonesian fishermen drifted in the ocean for 4 days before reaching Mati’s coastline.
They were said to be on their way home when strong current and wind battered their small vessel.
