00:00It is very possible that a fisherman from Infanta, Quezon Province,
00:10got lost on his boat in the sea until he was rescued and was taken to Batanes.
00:20The couple, Magdalena and Robert, were very worried.
00:27For 46 days, they were unable to see their family member, Robin,
00:34after he got lost in the sea.
00:37I couldn't eat.
00:39My wife was thinking about how to go home.
00:43It was very painful.
00:44I was arrested because of that.
00:47I was praying that I could see my father.
00:53But when they were almost hopeless,
00:57they received a miracle.
01:02Their father passed away after 46 days or a month and a half.
01:10He was found very weak on the most remote island of the Philippines, Batanes.
01:21This is the shocking story of a fisherman and how he was rescued from the sea
01:29within 46 days.
01:32Robin's family is from Infanta, Quezon.
01:42One morning on July 28, he went fishing with his fishermen
01:49in the Pacific Ocean.
01:51They went fishing for two weeks, sometimes for a week.
01:55Sometimes for a month.
01:59But something was different when Mr. Magdalena left.
02:04I felt weak and sad.
02:07It was a different feeling.
02:09Until this August 7, Robin's family told him that
02:14his Mr. Magdalena had been missing for two days.
02:19I felt bad for my husband and his family.
02:24The captain decided to come back because the weather was not good.
02:27The waves were getting bigger, so he decided to go to the other side.
02:32He was still there.
02:33They were still going around that area.
02:35I was concerned because, of course, we are the owners.
02:40I was also afraid that they would lose a family member
02:44because I thought that it was because of us.
02:47We also talked to the family to support them.
02:50We reported to the Coast Guard to look for them.
02:54They helped us.
02:56I was still alive then.
02:58If my father was dead, he would feel bad for us.
03:01But weeks passed.
03:04It's really hard to accept.
03:06I want to see my family again.
03:13I want to go home so we can all be together again.
03:19Meanwhile, 400 miles from Infanta Quezon,
03:23on the afternoon of September 19,
03:25in the sea of Itbayat in Batanes,
03:28a group of bankers noticed Julio.
03:31One of my colleagues told me that there was a boat there
03:36but it was not running.
03:38Maybe the engine was broken.
03:41They told me that no one was there.
03:44But they were very surprised when they saw it.
03:48The boatman woke up.
03:50There was no power left.
03:53He was given a rope.
03:55They told him to tie his boat to a person.
04:00Then he jumped.
04:02He couldn't swim anymore.
04:03My colleagues helped him.
04:06The man who was being looked for by Mr. Magdalena,
04:09Robin,
04:14was immediately taken to the hospital.
04:25Robin was in the hospital for six days.
04:29He was not able to breathe.
04:33Six days after he was rescued,
04:35Robin was being hospitalized in a hospital
04:39in the capital of Batanes, in Basco.
04:42He had a lot of wounds.
04:44He had bruises on his eyes,
04:46feet, arms, and back.
04:50I couldn't see his back.
04:52He was paralyzed.
04:53When the patient arrived at the hospital,
04:55he was really weak because he hadn't eaten properly for a long time.
05:00Aside from that, the patient also had dehydration.
05:03He also had wounds on his skin.
05:05He also had sunburns because he was exposed to the sea for a long time.
05:09He couldn't really open his eyes.
05:12This is where Robin spent his long journey.
05:19The first days of Robin's fishing trip in the Pacific Ocean became memorable.
05:24We were accompanied by a mother boat.
05:27Our boat was small.
05:31It was August 4.
05:32It was a sunny day.
05:33I was rowing.
05:36I lost my mother.
05:38I was already spinning.
05:43I cut my sweater.
05:45I tied it to my garfina so that I could wear it.
05:49I tied it up so that they could see if they were still there.
05:53They were gone.
05:55I tied my garfina.
05:57I just held it tightly.
05:58It was really cold.
06:00Robin became hungry for fish.
06:03I was fishing.
06:05I was fishing by the side of the boats.
06:07I was stabbing the fish.
06:09I was going to eat the neck.
06:12I saw a fish.
06:13I ate the fish meat.
06:18I had a bucket of blue-tinted salt.
06:21That's what I did. I filled up a gallon of water. I was saving it for my drinking.
06:31He was also hit by a typhoon.
06:34I was just running. My face was on the floor covered with styrofoam.
06:38I was wearing a mask so that my boat wouldn't be full of water.
06:43He also encountered fish.
06:46I just let the fish swim around my boat. I was just going to sleep.
06:53I didn't lose hope. I just prayed to the Lord.
07:00Robin was crying. His skin was dry.
07:04My skin was so dry that it didn't look like a dog's skin.
07:10I didn't want to get up. I didn't have water. I didn't have food. I thought I was going to die.
07:17When it was time for him to surrender because he had only seen the sea for a few weeks,
07:26he saw an island.
07:28I saw a mountain. I felt alive.
07:32Until someone saw him.
07:35I went there. They rescued me.
07:38Robin's used boat is now in the care of the Coast Guard.
07:43We saw Father Robin.
07:45We immediately informed the Coast Guard District of Sao Domingo, Tagalog
07:49that this is the man who is missing.
07:52Father Vigilio is alive.
07:54He was found here in the vicinity waters of Batanes.
07:58But because he still needed to recover from the hospital,
08:01Robin didn't go home to Quezon.
08:04I wanted to go home, but my body couldn't go home.
08:07Until it was reported to his family in Infanta, Quezon,
08:12that finally, Robin was found in Batanes.
08:16I am so happy to see him because he is alive.
08:21He is thin, has long hair, and has a lot of hair.
08:25The doctor said it will take a long time before he can go home.
08:29He will get stronger.
08:31But when will Robin go home to them?
08:34A big part of Batanes was hit by a typhoon.
08:38And Batanes was built by another super typhoon.
08:43I want to go home to Infanta.
08:45I miss my family so much.
08:47But how?
08:48Everyone was saved.
08:49It's like another flood came.
08:52Father, I miss you so much.
08:54I miss you so much.
09:01Fortunately, this Friday, the weather got better.
09:05That's why the local government unit of BASCO in Batanes
09:08and the local government of Infanta, Quezon,
09:11including the Coast Guard,
09:13arranged for the fisherman, Robin, to go home.
09:17Robin boarded an airplane of the Philippine Coast Guard
09:20to leave Manila.
09:23Let's go.
09:25And he was taken to Quezon Province by an ambulance.
09:33It was already night when they arrived in the town of Infanta.
09:36And almost two months later,
09:39the fisherman went to the sea
09:43thinking that he might not see his family again.
09:52I miss you so much.
10:22I miss you so much.
10:30Did you fulfill what you promised the other day?
10:33Yes.
10:36What do you want to do first now that you're already here in Infanta?
10:39Eat first.
10:40Eat first?
10:41Okay, let's eat first.
10:43The local government of Infanta has a homecoming dinner for Robin.
10:48They also promised to give a self-employment subsidy for Robin
10:53and a scholarship for his children.
10:56Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
11:01Happy birthday to you!
11:07In the midst of uncertainty and fear,
11:12we will save the faith that the storm will pass.
11:19I do not lose hope, as long as I believe in God.
