'Sailed back to God'

Authorities have not released the victims' names but in a fundraising page created by loved ones, family identified them as Jun Tudela and Rubert (last name not provided).

"They were angels who sailed back to God on a sea-of-joy" Candriel Abadam wrote on the fundraising page. " Both were the most happy-go-lucky guys. They were always cracking jokes together & even having their “bromance” moments every chance they got! They were at the happiest point in their lives when they went on their fishing trip together. We know they are both smiling, chewing pugua, and lighting one up as we speak."
