An interesting story,,,

PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Philippines — He needed a miracle to survive the cold and choppy waters, and he got it in the form of dolphins and whales.

Tuna fisherman Ronnie Dabal was fishing in Puerto Princesa Bay early on Dec. 8 when a squall turned his small motorized boat upside down. It was about 8 a.m.

He clambered atop a small Styrofoam board and battled the punishing waves for hours, growing desperate as the day wore on. How could he imagine then that he would survive in the most astonishing manner?

Interesting and good news. I am just a little sceptical when ever the Inquirer does publish some thing. Thank you for the post.

It's NOT the National Enquirer - this is a Philipino paper

That is a great story.  I don't think we have tapped into all the animal world has to offer us.  We still do not appreciate them.
