MANILA: A Singaporean and an American on a boating
holiday were rescued by the Philippine Navy after their yacht was
damaged by large waves, the navy said Saturday.
The vessel, Fly Ruben Fly, was travelling from Kudat
in Borneo to the western Philippine island of Palawan when it was
spotted in distress Friday, prompting a navy boat to go to their
aid.
The pair were rescued from their yacht which had run
aground and was half submerged near Palawan, the navy said in a
statement.
