At 4:30 p.m., the search and rescue operations were called off after Andy Berame, deputy officer of the Lapu-Lapu City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office, received information that Baek Seung Kyoon, 34, Heo Seung Yung, 45 and Kim Eun, 31 were found by fishermen.

The three were technical divers that drifted away from Punta Engaño since Sunday noon due to huge waves and strong water current.

Berame said the three who looked weak after hours of drifting are now on their way to Lapu-Lapu City.
