Fears from the Sea, confirmed

Worst fears into reality.

Dead bodies are found floating inside the capsized Princess of the Stars Ship of Sulpicio Lines in the seas of Central island in Sibuyan. The solutions for the best ways to pull out the bodies are now being formulated by the joint officials of USA, Local Coast Guard and the Disaster Relief operations.

Sen. Gordon and the Sulpicio lines reiterated that amidst the rumor of their rust laded ships, the particular Princess of the Stars was seaworthy. Another angle is the the go-signal given by the Sea Coast Officials to initiate the travel of the vessel from Manila to Cebu with the knowledge of the presence of Frank in the Philippine Territory. Lastly the competencies of the captain and officers, masters of the seas, to come up with a decision to carry on with the trip. There are factors that need to be considered and there will be answers.

There are various lessons to be learned from this incident. There are different heightened levels of compassion for the families' victims on how each and every day they live in anxiety until the fated news reach them. There is a new light and opportunity seized by the less than 60 survivors who manage to hold the memories of that ill-fated event. There must be a full room of understanding and objective thinking to reach the core problem. There must be swift actions to prevent this from happening again. With this, I deeply feel sorry for those families who are affected by this tragedy. I hope they should be very well compensated for their loss, and be able to hold people, who are accountable, to supreme justice.
