MANILA: Philippine authorities said on Wednesday (Feb 11) that a ferry may have been overloaded when it sank in the country’s south in January, killing dozens of people who received no warning from the ship’s crew.
The death toll has risen steadily since the Trisha Kerstin 3 went down off the coast of south-western Mindanao on Jan 26, with the body of a woman pulled from the wreckage by divers in the morning on Feb 11 bringing the tally to 52.
