Ferry Carrying 84 Passengers Sank Near Southern Leyte

Update: 21 Still Missing


A ferry with at least 84 passengers and crew onboard sank on Saturday off the coast of central Philippines after a mechanical problem, and authorities said they were searching for at least 21 passengers who were still missing. Three ships, including a foreign-registered liquefied petroleum gas carrier, rushed to the area where the ferry sank near the coast of Southern Leyte province and rescued 63 people, coastguard spokesman Commander Armand Balilo told Reuters.
An order to abandon the ship, MV Maharlika 2, was given at around 9:00 p.m. (1300 GMT) when it was buffeted by strong winds and huge waves hours after developing engine trouble in the late afternoon, he said.
"We have ongoing rescue operations," Balilo said. "We don't have any idea yet if there are casualties."
The ship's manifest listed 26 crew and 58 passengers, he said.
"At 5:30 p.m., we received a distress call that Maharlika 2 was dead on the water," Balilo said.
Southern Leyte Governor Roger Mercado told Reuters authorities were verifying eyewitness reports that around 100 people boarded the ferry, more than the 84 people listed on the ship's manifest.
Scores, sometimes hundreds, of people die each year in ferry accidents in the Philippines, an archipelago of 7,100 islands with a notoriously poor record for maritime safety. Overcrowding is common, and many of the vessels are in bad condition.

Pagka pait nlang. Guba nga MRT, Kolorum nga mga bus. Danghag nga Cebu Pacific. Karon atong mga Ferry boats way ayo. Naunsa naman ni atong mga transpo system dri sa nasod?

dili ra man na karon ang problema sa maritime industry diris ato. sa una pa na. we have among the worst safety record in maritime accidents. magbangga ang mga barko.. overloading.. etcetera.

this county is really a sinking ship.. pun intended.

the best move is to leave while you still can.

mahadlok na bya jud ko musakay og eroplano hehe

[salbahis]

mao ning RORO nga usuall sakyan kung mag Philtranco ka from Davao to Pasay City.... sige nako kasakay ani nga roro sa surigao pako nag eskwela... afaik ang barko basta mag dagan lang di man malunod as long dili lang maigo sa dako kaayo nga balud... dead in the water means disaster....

usahay maka ingon sad ko nga most shipping company doesnt really follow safety standards... i had my experience sa roro nga hapit malunod... after sa ako kasal sa negros we took the roro from matiao to cebu... kabalo sila dagko ug balud ni larga gihapon sila... ang resulta hapit mo balitok ang barge... (samot na nga flat bottom grabe jud mo barrel roll...)

similar rapud ni sa ferry boat (kanang Carmen Uno)... ang mga pasahero lami kaayo itagak sa dagat kabaw na nga nag takilid na ang dagan hala pundok adto sa landong bahala ug nag takilid na ang dagan...

psstt bai... sayop nga kahoy imong gipaghot... ang sayop ani kung ngano gi allow sa PCG... despite nga dagko ang balud even if walay storm signal ana nga area... you are barking at the wrong tree

ang PCG mao ang mag certify nga allowed mo travel ang usa ka barko... mao nga mosaka na sila before mo puera-visita ang barko...

depende sa operator some operator have modern RORO vessel others are just plain-old-barge.. like sa toledo-san carlos mas nindot ang roro kompara bato-amlan... and most are not bought rather built in-house pareha ang sa matiao
