Petty Officer 1 Kitchie Kamaluddin, commander of the PCG substation in Maluso, Basilan, said the rescue took place Tuesday night in the waters off Pandak Island, Hadji Muhtamad town. Kamaluddin said big waves damaged the hull of the motorboat while en route to this city from Jolo, Sulu, prompting Gabby Mundih, the skipper, to ask for help. A team from the PCG Maluso substation, accompanied by a relative of the distressed motorboat passengers, heeded the call and brought them to the PCG-Maluso outpost.
