According to reports, the driver of the speedboat owned by Aga Muhlach sustained multiple injuries. Identified as Jerome Pervera, he was brought to the Caramoan emergency hospital and is expected to be released Sunday.

In a statement sent to Interaksyon by Atty. Michelle Juan, Aga's chief-of-staff, it said that the explosion happened at around 6 a.m. this morning. Aga and his family were not on board at the time.

Now in a secured but undisclosed location in the said province, the couple is closely monitoring the situation. They are relieved that no one was seriously injured, and are grateful for the outpouring of concern for their safety and security, according to the statement.

Initial reports said that the engine and the gas tank ignited and then exploded. However, police investigation is still underway to determine the real cause of the explosion.
