00:00 The parents of the PCG personnel who were missing in the middle of the rescue operation

00:07 were still in tears when the storm hit Rivernoong.

00:10 The PCG confirmed that they are still looking for their loved ones.

00:15 Noel Talacay with the exclusive details.

00:22 Ms. Edlyn's peace was up to heaven because her son, a member of the Philippine Coast Guard, is still missing.

00:32 Her son is one of the four PCG personnel who were in the rescue operation in Cagayan River

00:39 when the storm hit Aparik, Cagayan.

00:43 But in the midst of the storm, their aluminum boat capsized due to the strong winds and waves.

00:50 We felt the pain.

00:52 It was so slow, sir, the storm.

01:00 Her eldest son, Celester Renz Campo, is 29 years old.

01:05 He joined the Philippine Coast Guard in 2020.

01:09 He is a kind and hopeful son.

01:13 To ease his anxiety for his son, he only shows him pictures of him being hugged and being fed every day.

01:22 He's a good son. That's all I'm asking. Why is he still here?

01:27 Meanwhile, Ms. Marilu was in tears while being fed by the calm Cagayan River and the flowing Babuyan Strait.

01:36 This is what she does almost every day since her son, a member of the PCG, went missing.

01:43 I hope they are all safe and can return.

01:49 I'm talking to the sea that they are still in good condition.

01:56 Her eldest son, Rodel Ritarita Grado, is also with her.

02:01 He's 27 years old. He's one of four missing PCG personnel in Apari.

02:08 According to Ms. Marilu, Rodel is hoping that his father will just die last year.

02:16 He wants his siblings to be safe. He wants us to have a good life.

02:23 That's all I'm hoping for.

02:27 She's still hoping that her son will be with her again.

02:31 Whatever happens, I can't do it, sir. I might die if my son goes missing.

02:39 The PCG's search and rescue, foot patrol, and aerial search continues.

02:45 Cagayan PDRRMO, PNP Maritime, and Office of the Civil Defense are all in the scene.

02:52 The aluminum boat that used four missing PCG personnel is seen in the sea of Calayan and Fuga Islands.

03:00 Our search and rescue operations are still ongoing for the four missing PCG personnel.

03:08 Our rescuers have already left the island.

03:14 In the sixth time, they will again search and rescue the islands of Kamiguin, Fuga, Calayaan, Babuyan, and Ritigatin.

03:23 We will do everything we can. We will not let our fellow fishermen go to jail.

03:31 Just like the connection of Cagayan River and Babuyan Strait,

03:37 the parents of Edlyn and Marilu are hoping that their children will be reunited with their loved ones.

03:50 From Apari, Cagayan, Noel Talacay for the nation.
