(Update) MANILA, Philippines - Twelve people, including 3 children and a Japanese tourist, were killed after a large motorized outrigger capsized near Mindoro Island on Saturday, the Philippine National Police (PNP) said.
Chief Supt. Luisito Palmera, police chief for Region 4B (Mimaropa), said in a text message to reporters in Manila that the MB Commando 6 sank at about noon near Verde Island, 85 miles (135 kilometers) south of Manila.
Palmera said the boat sank when one of its outriggers broke.
The Coast Guard in Manila says there were 57 survivors, including five crew members.
As of 3:59 pm, the last count of fatalities was 12, including two young boys and one young girl, seven adult women and adult men, said Palmera. He said one of the dead victims was a Japanese tourist.
He said the victims were identified by rescuers as:
1. Franco P. Eugenio, 3 years old, White Plains, Quezon City;
2. Anton Cruz Eugenio, 2, White Plains, Quezon City;
3. Gregonia C. Pabliko, 58, Sta Cruz, Manila;
4. Albino Pablico, 55, Sta Cruz, Manila;
5. Beta Berdin, 2, Sta Mesa, Manila;
6. Melanie Berdin, 30, Sta Mesa, Manila;
7. Desiree Teodoro, 20, Taytay, Rizal;
8. Joena Perez, 25, Batangas;
9. Yaya Tess, age unknown;
10. Nina Ricci Cads, Binangonan, Rizal;
11. Daisy Eugenio, Quezon City; and
12. Hosotani Shoji, a Japanese tourist.
Palmera said the boat left Batangas City pier for the tourist resort town of Puerto Galera in Mindoro Oriental before the accident.
Not long after the boat left, it sent out a distress call.
Responding rescuers took some of the injured to nearby hospitals but one child was declared dead on arrival by an attending physician, Dr. Rosse Villaruel, at the Puerto Galera Muncipal Health Center.
Five passengers are presently undergoing medical treatment at the same center, Palmera said.
Commodore Cecil Chen, Coast Guard commander for Southern Luzon, cited sketchy initial reports saying the ferry sank despite good weather.
"Maganda naman ang panahon. Bago siya nakarating may problema siguro kaya lumubog (The weather was fine. But before it could reach its destination it sank)," CHen told dzBB radio. He said they are still determining the cause of the sinking. - With Kimberly Jane T. Tan, GMANews.TV

the news was actually aired last night at SAKSI and TV Patrol World.i was asleep and was awakened by the alarming message alert tone of my mobile phone.
"Nina Cads died in accident today at Puerto Galera.The boat was hit with big waves and it flipped over.She was declared dead on arrival by the doctor around 3:25pm.She was TC Mae Benitez during that time.It was TC Mae's teambldg and 6 agents joined the activity.We have a total of 8 participants 2 of which were Mae and Nina.All of them survived except Nina.We are now coordinating with the local authorities regarding the transport of her body.I have already informed Boss JP and Boss JC.Bodge already informed Nina's family.I already spoke with Nina's father regarding the travel details.Please cascade to your team and let's offer a prayer for Nina's soul.May she rest in peace."
it actually didn't occur to me that it was true. i was scrolling the message down just to prove that this was just one of the none sense messages being passed and forwarded by people who,let's admit,got nothing more to do.but unfortunately,this was not one of those.it a serious thing.something that one can never joke of.
Yes, Nina Cads is the same person highlighted in the aformentioned list of the victims of the said incident.initial reaction?SHOCKED.i was shocked.enormous shock.it was sudden.i admit,i was never close to this person but considering what happened,and how it happened really saddened me.it did.honestly until this very lat minute that i am doing this blog,i am still in the "state of shock."it's just like you were just speaking to a person and just right after you turned your back at him,a car crashed and that person died.traumatic.tragic.it was indeed an awful experience.it brought a lasting fear to all those people who joined the activity as well to all those people affected by this accident.it's a trauma none of them would forget and recover quickly.
i,personally and honestly speaking wanted to put all the blame to the management in line with the reason pointed as of the moment by media - OVERLOADING OF PASSENGERS.i wanted to know why they let it happen,why the security of the passengers was not good enough?what security do they have?is there any?if yes then why they were not able to secure the lives of these passengers?how many more lives are they about to loss?i'll stand corrected but this will not be the first time that this incident occured.lots,lots of questions.but none of us,none of them for sure wished for this to happen.NO ONE.
incidents like this led to realization that life is very much unpredictable.we can never tell what will happen,what comes next,what's the real plan or basically what lies ahead.it's full of surprises no one can ever predict of.so,it might sound idealistic but we have to make the best out of it.we don't have any assurance how far can we go,how many days we still have or how long our journey could be.everything in life seems to be very,very unpredictable.amazing.if only we can stay alive,if only... but things like this are very INEVITABLE.
may she,and all of the other victims rest in peace.
