“The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), through the Coast Guard Station La Union Baywatch Team and with the assistance of four local fishermen, successfully rescued four individuals who were swept away by a strong sea current while swimming off the waters of Barangay San Francisco, City of San Fernando, La Union, on October 30, 2026,” the Coast Guard station said in a Facebook post.
