The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said Wednesday, July 2, that it is investigating the sinking of a landing craft tank (LCT) between the vicinity waters of Romblon and Sibuyan Island, threatening the risk of environmental damage in the province. Six Filipino crew members were rescued from the sunken LCT San Juan Bautista at around 12:30 a.m. last June 30 when the vessel dropped to the bottom of the sea. Commodore Geronimo Tuvilla, commander of Coast Guard District Southern Tagalog (CGDST), said the vessel departed Guihulngan Port in Negros Oriental on June 28 bound for drydocking in Navotas City when it sank.
