Just when you thought the sea is safe because there are no storms, a devastating event might just be creeping along the way. Just as the line says in a Harry Potter soundtrack something wicked this way comes.

Who would have thought a ship as big as Super Ferry 9, famously owned by the Aboitiz Group of Companies per se, would sink in the middle of a calm sea and sky? Lesson from the MV Princess of the Stars tells us not to sail if there's a storm -both to shipping lines and passengers. The Super Ferry 9 tragedy, however, reminds us that accident knows no time and place.


But I just want to address this to all transport operators, be it airline, shipping or land: please do check your vehicles on a timely manner, especially giant companies like Aboitiz. It's not just about saving lives, it also saves your company from unexpected costs and losses due to this type of accident as well as spares you from problems such as guilt and lawsuits.

Let us just thank the Lord that even when there were lives which met their demise many were still spared. Our prayers for the departed and their love ones would greatly help them find peace.
