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.
