Three fishermen from the town of Subic in Zambales died while another was injured when their fishing boat was rammed by a still-unidentified vessel some 180 miles (289 kilometers) from Barangay Cato in Infanta town of Pangasinan early on Monday, authorities said. The fishing boat “FB Dearyl” was at rest amid the rough seas while the 14 fishermen on board were preparing to send out its smaller service boats to catch fish when a passing ship got dangerously near them before slamming into their vessel, according to Cato village chief Napoleon Domalanta, quoting survivors.
