PNP-MG-SWOS RESPONDS TO GROUNDED VESSEL INCIDENT IN MABINI, BATANGAS
At around 9:45 PM on August 17, 2026, PNP-MG-SWOS personnel responded to a report of a grounded motorized vessel, “ANASTACIA,” near CAMALIG Resort, Barangay San Teodoro, Mabini, Batangas.
The team immediately secured and stabilized the vessel using ropes, a buoy, and flotation drums. A follow-up recovery operation was conducted at around 7:00 AM on August 18. However, due to rough sea conditions caused by the Southwest Monsoon (HABAGAT), the operation was temporarily suspended to ensure the safety of the responding personnel and prevent further damage to the vessel.
Recovery efforts will resume once weather and sea conditions permit, in coordination with the concerned authorities.
PNP-MG-SWOS remains committed to providing timely and effective response during maritime emergencies.
