The website of the Philippine Coast Guard was up and running again on Sunday after it was attacked by hackers following the fatal shooting of a Taiwanese fisherman by PCG personnel.“It just came back and resumed its normal operations,” a staff of the Coast Guard Public Affairs Office.
He said the PCG website was restored last week after it was down since the afternoon of May 10.
The PCG website was among the several government websites which were back online amid the slight easing of tension between the Philippines and Taiwan.
In its website, the Coast Guard reported that a Trans Asia vessel caught fire while underway to Ozamiz City and a steel-hulled passenger vessel encountered engine trouble at sea in separate maritime incidents.
“The smoke came from a defective exhaust manifold,” a PCG report posted on its website said.
MV Weesam 7, on the other hand, was carrying 158 passengers when its starboard propeller accidentally loosened from the shaft at the vicinity of Punta Cruz Point in Maribojoc, Bohol.
The Coast Guard said the vessel was en route to Cebu City when the incident occurred.
The PCG said both of the vessels arrived safely to its ports of destination through the assistance rendered by the agency. – Raymund F. Antonio
