From Rappler (Jun 13): Navy rescues 3 Brits off El Nido
The military's Western Command rescued 3 British nationals whose yacht encountered engine trouble amid harsh weather off the coast of the resort-island of El Nido in Palawan on Thursday, June 13.
Navy Capt Bayani Gaerlan, commander of Wescom's Joint Task Force Malampaya, said they received a report that the yacht MY Simoune was in distress since Wednesday night at 50 nautical miles off El Nido.
Patrol Gunboat 386 was immediately dispatched for a rescue operation. The yacht was found afloat at 2.5 nautical miles north of Lalutaya Island after 12 hours.
The 3 British nationals aboard the yacht are safe, but the Wescom did not release their names.
As of posting time, the yacht was being escorted by the Navy to the El Nido pier.
