00:00 Two apprentice seamen of the Philippine Coast Guard were injured in their water search and rescue training.
00:07 The PCG is now investigating if anything happened to the fishermen.
00:11 Because of that, the so-called "training" in the whole country has been suspended.
00:15 Chino Gaston has a report.
00:17 The Coast Guard apprentice seaman, Monica Guay, was on the way to the sea.
00:29 In the water search and rescue or WASARC training of the Philippine Coast Guard in Cavite on November 16,
00:35 her colleagues did not know that she was already unconscious.
00:39 Guay was immediately taken to a rubber boat and tried to revive her.
00:48 She was taken to the hospital in Cavite but she passed away today.
00:52 We still have nothing to say about the ongoing investigation but our assurance is that we are transparent
01:03 and we will look at all possible angles if there is a lapse or negligence.
01:11 Guay's mother was not able to accept what happened to her daughter.
01:15 They were waiting for the person to float. We saw in the video that the body was floating.
01:22 The way they held her was wrong. The CPR was all wrong.
01:28 It was like hazing because she was played on the side of the boat.
01:32 The PCG clarified that they were not doing any initiation or hazing to the people who were under the WASARC training.
01:39 The NBI is also investigating this.
01:42 The autopsy results of Labinica Guay are also being waited for.
01:46 She was second to be taken while the PCG was conducting training.
01:50 Another Coast Guard apprentice seaman in Palawan died on November 15.
01:54 Because of this, the Coast Guard suspended all PCG WASARC training in the country.
01:59 The training personnel in the two Coast Guard districts where the deaths took place were also temporarily relieved.
