Dolphin rescues fisherman from capsized boat - report

MANILA, Philippines - A dolphin rescued a fisherman after his fishing boat capsized Saturday in the wake of typhoon "Frank" off Negros, although both of them died upon reaching the shore of Burias Island in Masbate. Online news site Visayan Daily Star reported Thursday that a survivor who witnessed the incident recounted the episode Wednesday. The dolphin rescued Joseph Cesdorio, 34, a fisherman from Cebu who was among the crew members of the F/B Nicole Louise 2, a Cadiz-based fishing boat. Survivor Roberto Caratao said he saw the adult-sized dolphin pushing and trying to carry Cesdorio on its back towards the shoreline of Burias Island. However, both eventually died and were buried together in Burias Island, he said. The body of Cesdorio, which was retrieved from Burias Island, was among the four fatalities brought to Cadiz City and was claimed by his father who is a resident of San Jose, Cebu. - GMANews.TV
