7. To Milbuk Light (F. R.), bearing 25° true, dist. 5.0 miles. This course passes about 2.5 miles outside Bacud Reef and parallels the shore at a distance of about 5 miles:

NOTE.-Vessels which have called at Sarangani Bay ports en route to Cotabato from Davao pass about 3 miles off Taliak Point, 1 mile off Bual Point, midway between Bacud Reef and the shore, and rejoin the track off Milbuk Harbor, thus taking advantage of the moderate current setting northwestward along the coast. Offshore a strong southeasterly current setting toward Sarangani Strait is encountered.
