Fourteen rescued after motorbanca breaks down off Ajuy amid rough seas

Fourteen people were rescued after their motorbanca broke down in rough seas between Punta Buri Island and Marbuena Island in Ajuy, Iloilo, on July 11. Strong winds and turbulent waters, linked to Tropical Storm 'Inday' and the enhanced southwest monsoon, caused the vessel to become disabled. The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), along with local volunteers and municipal disaster management personnel, conducted the rescue operation. All 14 individuals, including the captain and crew, were safely brought ashore and assessed medically, with no injuries reported. Authorities urged mariners to avoid traveling during adverse weather conditions.
