Treasurer dead in boat accident off Romblon

CALAPAN, Oriental Mindoro: The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on Saturday said it rescued all but one of 95 passengers from a partially capsized ferry boat off the coast of Sibuyan Island in Romblon province.

The cause of the sinking is under investigation but it was reported that MB King Santo Niño 7 was new, on its maiden voyage and operated as a 'special trip' as there was no regular trip along the route it took.
