The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has already tracked the possible location of the sunken fishing vessel that collided with a foreign commercial vessel in the waters near Maracanao Island in Agutaya town, Palawan province, on May 28, an official said on Monday. However, the seven fishermen earlier reported missing could still not be located even as authorities have doubled their efforts on Monday to locate them. Commodore Rommel Supangan, PCG district commander in Palawan, said a search and rescue team deployed by the PCG had already covered 81.13 square nautical miles (150 kilometers) of the search zone and had expanded to nine more nautical miles (16.6 km).
