Coast Guard and Navy operatives have launched a belated search for at least 27 passengers of a motor boat that sank off Sulu Tuesday night, a radio report said Friday.

The Philippine Coast Guard and Philippine Navy learned of the sinking of “M/L Hamin" from survivors only on Thursday afternoon, said a report of radio dzXL. 

Out of the 50 passengers, 23 have so far been rescued. The Coast Guard said its search-and-rescue operations are ongoing, said the report, quoting officials. The Philippine Navy also sent two planes to the Sulu area to search for survivors.

Sketchy reports of the incident said the vessel was heading for Sulu from Sandakan in Malaysia when it sank Tuesday night. - GMANews.TV
