LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines — Two fishermen drowned in an abandoned mining pit in Rapu-Rapu town in Albay province while two others were declared missing, police said.
In a report, Capt. Dante Bonafe, chief of Rapu-Rapu police, said the victims went to an abandoned mining pit in Barangay Batan to get a submersible pump when the incident happened at 5:30 p.m.
Authorities retrieved the bodies of victims identified only as “Kalbo” of Barangay Villahermosa and “Uwak” of Barangay San Roque of Tabaco City.
