Rescuers were able to rescue Friday afternoon five miners identified as Brendo Tuarez, Nelson Villamor Sr., Patrick Morgado, Renan Entible and Ricardo Cabrera. They are presently confined at the company owned SMPC Infirmary Hospital in the island.

Gov. Rhodora Cadiao has sent Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (PDRRM) Officer Broderick Train and Antique Police Provincial Office Director Senior Superintendent Edgardo Ordaniel to the island this morning to conduct an inspection and to report to her their observation on the rescue and retrieval operations that is ongoing in the mine site.

“There may still be other workers there in the mine site aside from those reported missing by the mining company. We have to rescue them as they may still be alive or retrieve their bodies just in case,” Cadiao said.

On the other hand, Caluya Mayor Genevive Lim-Reyes activated the town’s Incident Command System to coordinate with the rescue and retrieval operations.
