Missing fisherman returned to family by SBMA, PCG

The Cargo vessel MV Shin Line 10 docked in Subic Bay Freeport after rescuing fisherman Rodolfo Montes whose boat capsized due to bad weather conditions. Montes was given immediate medical attention by the SBMA Public Health and Safety Department (PHSD) and was thereafter turned over to his son and Barangay officials of Petal.

A rescued fisherman aboard cargo vessel MV Shin Line 10 was turned over to the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) and the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on Saturday. 

According to a report from the PCG, the 52-year-old fisherman from Brgy Petal, Dasol, Pangasinan, who was later identified as Rodolfo Montes, was picked up by MV Shin Line 10, a cargo ship that was en route to Subic Bay Freeport. 

Information disclosed by the SBMA Law Enforcement Department revealed that Montes was declared missing since July 24, 2025, after their boat capsized due to bad weather conditions. 

Cargo vessel MV Shin Line 10 responded to the distress call from the PCG and rescued Montes amid the powerful wind waves of Lingayen Gulf at around 6:45pm on July 25, 2025.

Montes was given immediate medical attention by the SBMA Public Health and Safety Department (PHSD) and was thereafter turned over to his son and Barangay officials of Petal. 

The group then departed for Dasol, Pangasinan after the patient was given clearance to travel by the PHSD. (MPD-SBMA)
