The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) reported on Tuesday that its station in Aklan rescued two fishermen amid the onslaught of tropical depression “Lannie,” even as the Philippine National Police ordered its commanders to prepare their respective disaster response teams in areas threatened and affected by the bad weather. Vincent Cunihar and Sonny Tayco were rescued by PCG personnel from a distressed motor banca amid strong winds and big waves in the waters between Sta. Fe, Romblon and Nabas, Aklan. The PCG said the motor banca left Barangay Colong-Colong, Ibajay, Aklan, at around 4 a.m. on Sunday for a fishing venture into the waters of Sibuyan Sea.
