Four persons were reported missing while another man was rescued after a speedboat sunk around 30 nautical miles east of Kinapusan in Tawi-Tawi, the Philippine Coast Guard reported Saturday.

PCG Public Information Officer Lt. Commander Armando Balilo said the Coast Guard Action Center based in Manila received a radio message from Mapun Station in Tawi-Tawi informing them that an unregistered speedboat from the town of Sibutu accidentally hit floating logs that caused the light vessel to submerge.
