Another Filipino seafarer from the missing Panamanian cargo ship off Japan’s water was rescued, said the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).

DFA said the second Filipino sailor survivor was found alone in a life raft.

It added that he is conscious and able to walk. However, DFA withheld the identity while waiting for his consent to publish his name.

Meanwhile, the first Filipino sailor rescued, identified as Chief Officer Edwardo Serrano, is currently recovering in the hospital and will return to the Philippines soon.
