Sulpicio Lines Having Survivors Sign An Anti-Lawsuit Waiver For 20T Pesos Cash "Aid"


Cash Aid my cellulite ass! Sulpicio Lines just want people to shut up. It's sad that it has come to this. At the start I was quite sympathetic towards Sulpicio Lines, considering that the wrath of nature came upon heavily on them cost the lives of so many people. But then again, I feel even more sadness for all the survivors and the victims' families.

When I viewed that article today about Sulpicio Lines having survivors and victim sign-off on a no-case waiver to get their money, I was just aghast. Of course they'll sign and take the money. What else do they have to live by?

People just lost loved ones and relatives and belongings. I understand that Sulpicio Lines needs to run their business, but they are indeed sincere in giving "cash aid" then they will give it to people for no exchange!

Suing still costs money, if anything these survivors are not the enemy of Sulpicio Lines. There will be people with money who they have to convince otherwise but aid is supposed to be "aid" you know help/ assistance. Tainting it with legal bu***hit is just annoying

Survivor Update on MV Princess of the Star Tragedy



The man-hunt for survivors was suspended this week after it was found out that there were toxic chemicals on MV Princess of the Stars. Plugging a whole into the liner might release this chemical into the rest of the ocean damaging marine life as we know it.

So far more than 630 people are still missing and feared trapped inside the capsized MV Princess of the Stars, while 173 others were confirmed killed and 56 survived the accident, which appears to be the country's worst ferry disaster in two decades.

And here come more bad news,
the ship was carrying a cargo of 10 metric tons of endosulfan, a restricted pesticide that attacks the central nervous system of humans.

M/V Princess of the Star Tragedy - the Government vs Sulpicio Lines


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

Update on MV Princess Of The Star - Sulpicio Lines Tragedy


It was horrible what happened to MV Princess of The Star. The ship capsizing just in Philippine waters has made it rather difficult for anybody here to actually want to take another trip on sea again. Aside from that...

  • Not only that the news is just peppered with all those people trying to find the people they love who were on that ship
  • The cargo on that Sulpicio liner was also apparently carrying toxic chemicals that now have to be fetched and carefully too or marine life will die
  • People are scared to eat fish because it might be contaminated. The vice mayor of Cebu, Mike Rama had to physically go and eat it in public just to show the people here that it's okay to eat fish. Isn't that tragic
The image to the right is not the MV Princess of the Star, but the way it capsized, it might as well will be. There has to be still hundreds of people dead in there as well as toxic chemicals that still have to be taken out. God help us all
