Sixty-seven people were rescued from a ship that ran aground at Danajon Reef in Bohol before dawn Tuesday. The M/V South Pacific left Bato, Leyte, 9 p.m. Monday for Cebu City when it hit the reef at past 1 a.m. An initial underwater inspection by the Coast Guard’s Marine Environmental Protection Personnel (MEPU) found no threat of oil spill, said Encina. An investigation will be made to find out what caused the vessel to run aground, said Encina.
