‘Princess’ victims' kin plan ‘protest Mass’ at Sibuyan

Kin of victims of the MV Princess of the Stars tragedy are planning a "protest mass" to dramatize their disgust over the slow pace of salvage work on the capsized ship.

Radio dzBB's Carlo Mateo reported Monday that the relatives' spokesman Levi Samuel said they refused to accept repeated excuses from Sulpicio Lines, owner of the ship.

Samuel also said they are tired of hearing excuses from Transportation Undersecretary Elena Bautista, who heads a task force on the tragedy.

He said they could not understand why Sulpicio is still getting the kid-glove treatment despite repeated delays in the salvaging operations for the ship.

Samuel said they are planning a Mass for the victims on Sibuyan Island in Romblon, near the site of the capsized ship, with running priest Robert Reyes presiding.
