Bianca Manalo Returns to Brgy Aras-Arasan with Boyfriend Mayor Jonathan Tan

BIANCA MANALO – FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano actress Bianca Manalo returned to Barangay Aras-Arasan in Sebaste, Antique with her boyfriend Mayor Jonathan Tan.

Many of the family, friends, and fans and supporters of actress-beauty queen Bianca Manalo were alarmed upon hearing what happened to her and her group in Antique on Holy Thursday.

Based on a report, the speedboat that Bianca boarded together with her boyfriend Pandan, Antique Mayor Jonathan and friends Ehra Madrigal and her husband Tom Yeung capsized while they were on their way to an island in Culasi.

Mayor Tan will supposedly take them to Mararison Island, one of the famous destinations in Antique. According to him, they went there for tourism promotion and as well as to tour them as they want to visit the place.

Mayor Jonathan Tan narrated that, unexpectedly, on their way to the island, there was a change in the condition of the waters and strong waves hit their speedboat that capsized in just around 15 seconds.

The group was not able to wear life jackets and the survival equipment were tied on the boat. According to Bianca Manalo’s boyfriend, he swam going to the shore to seek some help.

On his way to the shore that took him more than two hours, he vomited almost five times but he kept on going together with Torrebeo Barrientos. The other passengers that boarded the speedboat were left holding tight on the boat.

The Mayor sought the help of fishermen and they went back to the place where the boat capsized to rescue the other passengers including his girlfriend Bianca Manalo and their friends Ehra Madrigal and Tom Yeung.

Unfortunately, Mayor Tan’s cousin and bodyguard Bennie Dable was declared dead on arrival in the hospital. All the other passengers survived. Ehra and her husband went back to Manila ahead of Bianca.

Based on a post on the Facebook page of RMN Networks Iloilo, citing credits to ‘Jie Francisco Alpas’, Bianca Manalo and her boyfriend went back to Barangay Aras-Arasan in Sebaste, Antique on Monday to personally thank the fishermen who helped bring them to safety during the incident.
