SAN ANTONIO, Zambales — A fisherman from Subic town died during a fishing trip near Capones Island on Monday, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) in this province confirmed.

The Marcos administration aims to reduce the poverty incidence between 8.8 and nine percent by 2028.

The Philippine Hotel Owners Association Inc. (PHOA) revealed their target on Wednesday, October 16, during the official unveiling of the Philippine Hotel Industry Strategic Action Plan (PHISAP) 2023-2028 at the Westin Manila Hotel in Ortigas.

Commander Euphraim Jayson Diciano, chief of PCG Zambales, reported that BRP Cabra, while conducting routine radio checks in the waters near Bajo De Masinloc and west of Zambales, received the distress call about the incident.

BRP Cabra immediately set course to assist but was later informed by Vasquez that Lamban had stopped breathing. Upon arrival at the vessel’s location, medical personnel on board BRP Cabra confirmed that Lamban had no pulse and was no longer breathing.

Due to rough sea conditions, the PCG reported that it was not possible to transfer Lamban and his relative, who was also part of the fishing crew, to BRP Cabra at the time of the report.
