The search and rescue mission for the four rescuers who went missing in Cagayan has resumed, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) announced.

In a statement, the PCG said Coast Guard Aviation Force (CGAF) utilized CGH-1451 in conducting a search and rescue (SAR) mission.

According to Coast Guard, the rescuers vanished in Cagayan River while en route to save the MTUG Iroquois captain, who had suffered a heart attack due to Super Typhoon Egay, last July 26.
