Two fishermen were reported yesterday as missing, after they failed to return to their home at Unisan Island in Guimaras, police said.

Vittorio Gallarde reported to the police that his two sons, Filjun, 25. and Jade. 23, went fishing in the territorial waters of Cauayan, Negros Occidental, and Unisan island, Saturday.

Gallarde, however, said his two sons had not returned home up to yesterday and this prompted him to report the incident to the Cauayan Police Station.

Gallarde urged those who may have information on the whereabouts of his two sons, to immediately report it to the nearest police outpost in their areas.*GPB
