PCG: A disoriented sperm whale was beached at the shorelines of Barangay Marina, San Jose, Antique around 9:30 a.m. yesterday.
 
The distressed mammal was found by 24-year old Ronald Charlie Ledesma 10 meters from the shoreline and was immediately reported to the Coast Guard Station (CGS) San Jose de Buenavista.

It measures 546 cm in length, 76 cms in width and weighs 80 kilograms.

The area was then cordoned-off by the BFAR personnel and volunteer residents until the Coast Guard has successfully guided the whale towards the deeper portion of the sea 150 meters off the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) premises.
 
The sperm whale eventually swam off to the ocean when it finally controlled its buoyancy.
