Junkung

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Junkung, also spelled jungkung or jungkong, is a small wooden motorized boat used by

pirates and Abu Sayyaf terrorists in and around the Sulu Sea.[1][2][3][4]

The junkung is smaller than the tempel and can accommodate around 25 to 30 people.[5][6] Unlike the similarly named junkun and jukung, it does not have outriggers. It is also a much larger ship than the jongkong, which is a dugout canoe.
