"2Go also clarified that the MV St. Thomas Aquinas was not exactly Manila-bound when it collided with the cargo ship. "The vessel came from Surigao and Nasipit Port bound for Cebu as a stopover port and then to Manila. It was estimated to arrive Cebu at 10 p.m. Scores, sometimes hundreds, of people die each year in ferry accidents in the Philippines, which has a notoriously poor record for maritime safety. An archipelago of 7,100 islands, ferries are the most common form of transportation." "Overcrowding is common, and many of the vessels are in bad condition." ***Based on my research study ...i agree with this observation, many domestic vessels here in the Philippines are in bad conditions...i surveyed 18 vessels of cargo, tanker and passenger vessels in Batangas, Cebu and Cagayan de Oro....some of them as claimed and disclosed by the captains and crew are almost or more than 30 years in sea service... gmanetwork/news/story/322389/news/nation/two-ships-collide-in-cebu-waters-24-dead-hundreds-rescued
