The crew of the MV Maria Beatriz of Montenegro Lines rescued brothers Cesar 34, and Cipriano Espinosa Jr. 29, in the waters of Guimaras at 7 a.m. Friday after being cast off from their boat due to bad weather.
Cesar told ABS-CBN Bacolod huge waves destroyed their pumpboat while they were fishing.
They were stranded at sea for more than 19 hours without food and water.
They left their house in Barangay Balangigay in Pontevedra, Negros Occidental at 6 a.m. Thursday.
Cesar said they decided to go to sea because the weather seemed fine.
After catching more or less 10 kilos of fish, they decided to return home but were stopped by big waves.
Around 7 a.m. Friday, the MV Maria Beatriz was passing along Navalas Point in Guimaras when its crew saw the stranded fishermen waving.
