Relatives and friends of the three fishermen who died in a boat ramming incident in the waters off Pangasinan province in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) appealed to the government to make true its promised assistance as they brought the remains of their kin to their final resting place on Saturday. The mourners walked the whole 4-kilometer stretch for more than an hour going to Prime Subic Gardens, where all three fishermen were buried. A couple, who were common friends of the fishermen, initially shouldered all the funeral expenses but said the local government here had promised to reimburse the burial cost.
