The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has launched a search and rescue mission for an American and five other people who have been missing since Saturday in waters near Barangay Maloh in Siaton, Negros Oriental.
Coast guard Commander Arman Balilo identified the six missing people as Elmer Sabroso, Roseldo Andid, Rey Benetes, Jovie Fundador, Cristina Andid and Bradley Fugate, an American. They were on board a 28-foot pumpboat that sailed on Friday.
According to Balilo, they got the information from PCG-Dumaguete after the boat owner reported that the six people failed to return from their fishing trip last Friday.
PCG immediately dispatched BRP Batangas and a light utility aircraft to look for the victims.
The agency has also released a Notice to Mariner to inform other seafarers on the incident.
Local officials have coordinated with the local government units of Palawan and Malaysia, where the pumpboat may have strayed.
The US Embassy has also been notified about the missing American.

Please post any updates/news you have regarding Brad and the others that are missing. We are all awaiting anxiously and checking constantly hoping to hear good news that they have been found safe.
i have looked almost every day through news sources in and outside of the Philippines and I do not think he was referring to the same rescue etc. –
i been following this one I even donated cellphone load to one of the family member to call every agency that could help in rescuing them. I saw her post today and she said that Bradley Fugate and the girlfriend were found dead in one of the island palawan. The rest 4 of the crew were still missing.
Praying for some good solid news ,and not rumors ,if there was any news agency in that is reporting on there situation could someone please forward that information?
