I think Sulpicio Lines should pay and should be responsible for what happened during the Frank typhoon - for the capsizing for their ship M/V Princess of the Star. As it should be the lives of all those people there depended on them.
But the government is just being a little too interfering when they attempt to take over a private company like Sulpicio lines. There have been troubles historically where the government's solution is to "take-over" that's a little too much micro-management I think. Take Meralco as an example.
To prove a point though, Sulpicio lines shouldn't have set sail when the typhoon was up and they should have made sure that their ship was in tip top shape. Losing all those lives shouldn't have happened. Although the government is trying to prove now that the liner was indeed "unstable" I think that it was a combination of the ship's instability, the uncontrollable weather conditions and negligence that led to that tragedy
