Death Toll from Philippine Ferry Disaster Surges Past Thirty-Five
Search and rescue crews continue intensive efforts to locate the sunken vessel MV Trisha Kerstin 3 and recover any individuals still missing following the maritime tragedy, according to official statements from the PCG.
Authorities have confirmed that 316 passengers and crew members survived the incident. Despite the large-scale rescue operation, officials have not yet released precise figures regarding how many people remain missing in the aftermath of Monday's catastrophe.
The passenger ferry sank in the early morning hours Monday during its scheduled voyage from Zamboanga City to Jolo Island in Sulu province when the vessel encountered difficulties and went down near Basilan's coastal waters. Emergency response teams mobilized immediately following distress signals, with multiple vessels and aircraft participating in the ongoing search operations that have now entered their sixth day.
