THE Public Attorney's Office (PAO) on Thursday said the families of the passengers and crew of the M/V Princess of the Stars who perished off the coast of Romblon in 2008 will appeal the ruling of a Manila court dismissing the criminal case against one of the owners of the ill-fated ship.

PAO chief Persida Rueda-Acosta said they were shocked to learn about the ruling of Judge Maria Paz Reyes-Yson of Branch 54 of the Manila Regional Trial Court (RTC).
