CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro — The Philippine Coast Guard rescued 29 passengers and crew members of a distressed motorbanca after it suffered mechanical failure off Calibangbangan Island in Linapacan, Palawan, on Monday, according to its report on Tuesday.

The Coast Guard said the vessel MBCA Princess Ruby Ann-1 developed a broken propeller shaft during its journey, prompting its mechanic to immediately shut down the main engine to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of those on board.

Coast Guard Sub-Stations (CGSS) New Colaylayan and San Fernando personnel immediately launched a search-and-rescue operation after receiving the distress report.
