The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG)-Negros Occidental has yet to determine the cause of the mechanical trouble that beset M/V Weesam 6 in the waters between Panay and Bacolod yesterday. Commander Joe Luviz Mercurio, head of the PCG-Northern Negros Occidental, said that the vessel departed from the Bacolod Real Estate Development Corp. (Bredco) port here around 11:30 a.m. when it was believed to have encountered mechanical trouble while on its way to Iloilo City.
