It was found by a certain Roldan Bayon-on, who tried to tow it to the nearest shoreline but failed because his own motor banca encountered engine trouble and drifted towards Barangay Rizal, Roxas.

On Wednesday, the CGS personnel and Bayon-on left for Rizal to tow the boat. It is now under their custody.

The CGS is calling on the owner of the fishing boat to coordinate with their office to claim it.
