Families of missing Pinoy seafarers request rescue operations to continue
Families of the 36 Filipino seafarers missing from the sunken Gulf Livestock 1 have requested that search and rescue operations continue.
Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III relayed this request after informing them that the Japanese Coast Guard had initially stopped their search.
The Japanese Coast Guard had resumed search operations for the missing seafarers after a typhoon passed, although they shifted from specialized rescue to normal search operations.
The search operation involves three vessels, four airplanes, and two divers.
The cattle ship issued a distress call from the west of Amami Oshima Island as Typhoon Maysak approached.
Out of the 43 crew members, including 39 Filipinos, three have been accounted for: one deceased and two survivors.
