MANILA — The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on Monday said all 506 passengers of MV Lite Ferry 5, which ran aground in shallow waters off Jagna Port, Bohol on Saturday, were successfully rescued.

 

The PCG said Coast Guard District Central Visayas (CGDCV) "successfully ensured the safe transfer" of all 506 passengers from MV Lite Ferry.

The vessel was en route to Cagayan de Oro when it drifted into shallow waters due to low tide.

All passengers were safely returned to port by Sunday dawn, with no reported injuries.
