The Senate will investigate the tragic passenger ferry accident that killed 27 people in Laguna de Bay on July 27, Sen. Grace Poe said in a statement issued on Sunday. | MRamosINQ /PDI
The senator called on the authorities, particularly the Philippine Coast Guard , to hold liable those responsible for the sinking of MB Aya Express, which overturned after it was walloped by strong winds just 50 meters from the shore of Barangay Kalinawan in Binangonan, Rizal province.
The PCG said the boat, which was only allowed to ferry 42 passengers, carried at least 70 people, including the 43 survivors and the 27 others who drowned, some of them children. Quezon City Rep. Marvin Rillo wondered why the MB Aya Express’ passengers were not wearing life jackets when that was already standard practice in most maritime vessels and even resorts.
