A pregnant woman and her husband were rescued after their boat sank off Barangay Libis in Culion, Palawan around 9:45 a.m. on Tuesday, May 27, 2025.
In a report by Jhun Vizier Bantaculo on Super Radyo Palawan, the couple was heading from Guadalupe, Coron to Culion Hospital for a check-up when strong waves hit their small boat, causing it to take in water and sink, according to the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO).
MDRRMO responders arrived quickly and pulled the couple and their boat to safety.
MDRRMO Culion has since advised residents to avoid traveling in small boats unless necessary, due to strong winds and large waves in the area.
