CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro — The Philippine Coast Guard rescued 34 passengers, including a boat operator, after their motorized banca encountered engine trouble off Taytay Bay in the town of Taytay in Palawan on Monday (November 2). The passengers were aboard MBCA Kin J-Mar, which was traveling to Barangay Casian in Taytay, to visit the graves of their departed loved ones for All Souls' Day, the Coast Guard District Palawan (CGDPAL) said. Coast Guard Sub-Station Taytay received a distress call from a concerned citizen at 3:30 p.m. and immediately dispatched a search and rescue team to the reported location. At 4 p.m., rescuers found the disabled boat approximately 3.7 nautical miles from the Port of Taytay and immediately began towing operations. The banca and all 34 people aboard were safely brought to the Port of Taytay at 4:30 p.m., the Coast Guard said. All passengers and the boat operator were accounted for and reported to be in good physical condition. The CGDPAL, through Coast Guard Station Northern Palawan and its substations, said it would continue maritime safety operations and emergency response efforts to protect lives at sea.
