A 25-year-old fisherman was injured in a crocodile attack while fishing off the waters of Balabac, Palawan last Thursday. Police Lt. Col. Imelda Tolentino, spokesperson of the Philippine National Police-Regional Office 4-B (Mindoro Oriental and Occidental, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan area), said the victim, Janilon Amalong, was fishing using a spear gun at around 1 a.m. when a large crocodile attacked him. The crocodile reportedly tried to drag the victim away but Amalong was able to free himself with the help of his uncle.
