Most rescued passengers have left for Bohol

The 55 passengers and crew members who were rescued from a pump boat that ran aground Friday afternoon off Cordova have gone on their separate ways, with some catching a boat ride to Clarin, Bohol yesterday.

Lt. James Reyes, the Civil Military Operations Officer and Public Information Officer of the Naval Forces Central, told CDN that they were taken yesterday dawn to Pasil, Cebu City where they could catch a boat to Bohol.

Passengers who have cargo left in the boat remained in the city waiting for their cargo to be retrieved.

Annie Casquejo, a businesswoman, said the persons she contracted to retrieve her belongings had difficulty due to the very shallow waters.
