A group of fisherfolk on Friday urged the Philippine Coast Guard and Philippine Marines to expedite the search and rescue operations for the seven Filipino fishermen who went missing during a fishing expedition in West Philippine Sea last week. The victims’ fishing vessel FB Narem made its last contact on the islands of Dasol and Camaso, Pangasinan last Jan. 13 in the afternoon, according to the owner of the vessel. Aboard the boat were its captain Alberto Roldan and crew members Roderick Montemayor, Homar Maglantay, Ejay Dela Cruz, Jerome Maglantay, Larry Legaspi and Jefferson Bernabe.
