CEBU, Philippines -- Three crew members were rescued after the pump boat they were on board and loaded with galloons of distilled water sank near Gilutungan Island in Cordova town on Saturday

A pump boat loaded with galloons of mineral water and eggs is being towed to shore after it sank off Gilutungan Island Saturday morning, July 3, 2021. | Photo screen grabbed from the Facebook page of Councilor Cesar Muñez.

In his video posted on Facebook, Lexfer Baguio, one of the volunteers of Mobile Lugaw who all helped rescue the crew members, said they came from a feeding program in Gilutungan Island when they saw the crew of the pump boat waving at them as if asking for help. Baguio said the pump boat which was headed to Gilutungan Island, was carrying gallons of mineral water and eggs, which could be the reason why it sank.
