The MV Princess of the Stars' tragedy horrified the world as it capsized amidst typhoon (Fengshen) Frank's aggression somewhere in central Philippines. The ferry was carrying more or less 700 crews and passengers.
It sickened me much when I learned that a friend is on board.
He's one of our closest neighbors ... a childhood playmate. We're raised and grew in the same community. He's a seafarer going home (Cebu) to his wife and 5 kids.
As of this writing, he's still missing together with the hundreds of people on that boat.
Pope Benedict XVI is praying with us all.
I hope and pray that there'll be more survivors, and the remains of those who passed away will be retrieved.
