Twelve Vietnamese fishermen who were rescued during a recent storm in the Philippines fly home yesterday.
Vietnamese ambassador in the Philippines Nguyen Vu Tu saw the fishermen off.
Earlier, the ambassador made a visit to Palawan Province to thank the Philippines sailors for saving the lives of the fishermen.
The QNg 90510TS fishing boat sent out a distress signal after being caught in the storm. The crew were rescued by the Philippine navy on July 27.
The Philippines\' help with repatriating the fishermen is an expression of the friendly relations enjoyed between the two countries and their navies, the ambassador said.
