Nasipit, Agusan del Norte โ A medical emergency involving an 8-year-old boy aboard M/V Lite Ferry 16 was promptly addressed by port authorities upon the vesselโs arrival at Nasipit Port on June 12, 2025.
The child, a resident of Buenavista, Agusan del Norte, reportedly fell from his upper-deck sleeping area during the voyage from Bohol due to strong wave activity, resulting in facial injuries.
Station Commander PPSUPT Samuel G. Razon coordinated with Ms. Analie O. Baldespinosa, Manager of Lite Shipping Corporation, who reported the incident to port authorities. Port Police personnel, led by PPO3 Deo Chen C. Flores, responded and facilitated the childโs transfer to Nasipit District Hospital. He was accompanied by his father and the vesselโs purser.
The child received immediate treatment and was later discharged.
The Port Police Division urges the public to contact the Nasipit Port Quick Response Desk Hotline at (0951) 810 0951 for any maritime or port-related emergencies.
