At least 46 passengers were rescued after a boat ran aground in central Philippines, a local radio reported Wednesday.
Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) spokesman Arman Balilo told radio dzMM that search and rescue personnel are still looking for more passengers on boat MV "Yellow Rose", which ran aground off Nasuan island near Cordova, Cebu.
Three children were among the passengers, the PCG said.
Passengers told the radio that the boat sailing from Bohol to Cebu was supposed to dock at 12:30 a.m. in Cebu but ran aground near the island at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Passengers also said that some of the seamen seemed drunk so it was possible that they could have lost track of the trip.
The cause of the incident is still under investigation, the PCG said.
