Authorities on Sunday said that they were still searching for 33 fishers from Quezon and Camarines Norte who went missing amid stormy weather days after Tropical Storm Enteng (international name: Yagi) devastated Luzon and parts of the Visayas at the start of this month. The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) in northern Quezon said Noreen Soronel, owner of FBCA Zshan, reported to their station last Wednesday that she had lost contact with the fishing vessel and its 15-man crew on Tuesday, September 3. Soronel told the PCG that the boat left Quezon’s town of Infanta for a fishing expedition in the Pacific Ocean on August 18.
