The MV Princess of the Stars, under the flagship of the Sulpicio Lines fleet, left the port of Manila on June 20, 2008 on its way to Cebu City . The number of passengers are variously reported between seven to eight hundred. The ferry sent a distress signal at midday on June 21 when its engines stalled in rough seas near Sibuyan Island . San Fernando Mayor Nanette Tansingco sent a speedboat and confirmed that the ferry had a hole in the hull, the ferry was partially submerged and that several bodies had been found nearby. It’s sad but it’s something fortuitous that no one likes to happen. Let’s just all pray for the soul of the dead passengers.
