As I have been anguishing in the past few days, along with the many families of the passengers on The MV Princess of The Stars, a Sulpicio Line ship, my anger has also risen to unfathomable heights. The murderous nature of this shipping company must stop. If for no other reason than to help future victims of Sulpicio and to give justice to the thousands of lives lost because of the inadequacies of this company.

Right now, my family does not need money, it needs prayers. As early as within a day of the disaster, Sulpicio Lines was already putting a number on the lives of the victims. P200k?!

HEARTLESS BASTARDS!

And in the coming days and weeks, my number one goal is to see to it that Sulpicio Lines will be brought down to its knees and have its days in business numbered. I want a lawsuit and criminal cases filed against this murderous company. I hope the families come together on this, and I am hoping that a few brave lawyers, outstanding lawyers, will take up this case and this cause. To bring an end to the murderous nature of this company.

When what matters are the lives of the passengers, the rescue of the passengers, and the identification of the bodies, Sulpicio has done nothing but make excuses and make the lives of the families of the passengers miserable. Instead of giving comfort and assurance, they are trying to save face, and rescue their image. They are embarking on a set policy that they have perfected in their murderous years of operation, in order to make any future compensation too little, and too hard to receive. They are implementing a policy in order to keep their company afloat.

NO FORMALIN. LACK OF BODY BAGS. MASS GRAVES. NO CLEAR PROCESS.

And now, as reports come in, they even had the audacity to keep from authorities and the public that there were dangerous pesticides in its cargo, all the while as the brave rescuers are trying their best to get to the victims still inside the capsized ship.

CRIMINALS displaying arrogance and clearly a negligence not only to the families, but to the rescuers and divers.

And what the hell was the government and Sulpicio Lines waiting for during the initial hours and days? For the dead to take care of themselves, to put themselves in body bags, and not to rot and decompose. Sulpicio is trying to swindle the victim’s families so that they can keep their worthless business afloat.

For a nation that is so used to having natural calamities ravage the archipelago, why doesn’t anyone in this “natural disaster team” have the foresight to have such materials as body bags and formalin ready in waiting. Do we not have planes that can drop these supplies in a moments notice? Why the hell do we have to resort to slow-ass Sulpicio boats to deliver these damn supplies? What is this, the middle-ages?

The first thing to have been done is to make a full blown rescue effort possible, this is the responsibility of both government and Sulpicio. Two tug boats in the first 24 hours? Is that enough?

Next is to secure the bodies for identification, especially for DNA testing, not to dump them in mass graves! Again, where is the President’s men on all of this? Do we not have too many disasters under our belt to have perfected any sort of disaster relief effort?

These organizations should know better.

How would they like it if we throw their family members to the ocean, to let them drown, and then let them decompose, throw them in mass graves, and then tell them that bahala na sila to get them out of those graves and identify for themselves.

What the hell? Have they been drinking all the formalin?

According to my family, the buried will still have to be identified, and it seems that Sulpicio may have to let the families fend for themselves and recover the bodies if they still can’t find their loved ones. And the DNA testing, the medical tests, it seems that Sulpicio may have the families pay for these tests themselves. I cannot confirm, well, because Sulpicio only issues vague press releases on how they are doing their best.

SELFISH BASTARDS!

I think now, the best way to get at Sulpicio is a series of actions that will not only boycott their company, but pursue criminal actions, especially in the light of the new revelation that they failed to inform authorities and the public that the ship had poisonous pesticides in its cargo. Lawsuits should be filed, and we should keep the pressure. This is for my cousin, all the other victims, and all the affected families.

SULPICIO LINES must be stopped, the sooner the better.
