Published July 26, 2021, 12:11 PM ZAMBOANGA CITY – About 18 persons, including four crew aboard a motorboat in distress, have been rescued at the Sulu Sea amid the inclement weather. Col. Hernanie Songano, Joint Task Group-Sulu and 4th Marine Brigade (4MBde) commander, said 12 adults and six children were rescued late Saturday, July 24, in between Bakungan Island, Patikul and Tambanan Island, Luuk. Songano said a multipurpose assault craft was dispatched for the rescue operation upon receiving a report around 2:10 p.m. Saturday that a motorboat named MB Bongarita was in distress at sea. “Upon the arrival at the location, MB Bongarita, was being towed by a civilian watercraft. However, the responders cannot withstand the strong wind, which made the passengers of MB Bongarita transfer to MPAC for their safety,” Songano said.
