On the evening of August 6, 2025, six individuals were successfully rescued by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) after their boat capsized off Panglima Tahil town in Sulu. The incident occurred while the passengers were traveling to Teomabal Island from Jolo. Due to rough sea conditions, the vessel overturned, leaving the passengers adrift for over an hour.
Upon receiving a distress call via SOS from one of the passengers shortly after the boat sank, the PCG quickly initiated a rescue operation. The rescued individuals were reported to be in stable condition following their ordeal at sea.
