Twenty crew members of MT Princess Empress were rescued.

Task force member-agencies include Mimaropa offices of DENR, DILG, DSWD, Department of Health, Bureau of Fire Protection, Philippine National Police, PCG-Southern Tagalog District, Armed Forces of the Philippines Southern Luzon Command and Mimaropa local government units.
