BORACAY ISLAND, Aklan - A Filipino-American (Fil-Am) siblings from Texas, the United States, were saved from drowning at the beach of this resort island Wednesday.
Police identified them as Aldrin Caluya, 18, and his younger brother Adrian Caluya, 12. They were swimming at the beach with their parents when the incident happened, the police report said.
“They decided to swim at the deeper part of the beach when strong waves engulfed them. Nearby lifeguards immediately responded and rescued them,” said Supt. Samuel Nacion, Boracay Police chief.
The two were then brought to the Boracay District Hospital because they were unconscious. One of the victims was then transferred to a private hospital in nearby Kalibo, Aklan to receive further treatment.
Both the police and the Philippine Coast Guard continue to warn tourists to be vigilant while swimming at the beach, especially during inclement weather conditions. (PNA)/TE
