LEGAZPI CITY(PNA) – At least 14 health personnel under the Nurse Deployment Program (NDP) of the Department of Health (DOH) in Bicol were rescued on Saturday by members of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) when their motorized boat capsized after being smashed by big waves off the coast of Rapu-Rapu town in Albay.
