He added that after several efforts to call for help, he and his relative, Torrebeo Barrientos, decided to swim to shore and get help.

“Nagpe-pray ako, sabi ko, ‘Lord, ayoko maging selfish; please save me so I can save them,” he said.

The mayor added that they swam for approximately 2 hours before local fishermen saw them in Sebaste town.

The fishermen immediately went to where Bianca, Ehra and the others were to rescue them.

“Napaiyak talaga ako. While we were on our way pabalik sa kanila, sabi ko, ‘Makikita ko pa ba sila? Are they still there?’ Grabe talaga, parang pelikula yung pangyayari,” he said.
