One person died while eight others were rescued after a motorboat capsized in the waters off Liwagao Island in Caluya, Antique, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said Sunday. The PCG said its Coast Guard Sub-Station (CGSS) in San Jose launched a search-and-rescue operation after the motorboat “San Agustin IV” failed to reach its destination as scheduled, and its crew could no longer be contacted. The vessel departed Semirara Port in Antique on Sept. 5 and was bound for Barangay Caminawit in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro.
