Sulpicio now blames captain for 'Princess' tragedy

MANILA, Philippines — After blaming God and the weather bureau, the owner of the ill-fated MV Princess of the Stars now blames its captain for the tragedy that befell the ship last June.

Radio dzBB's Teresa Tavares reported Tuesday evening that Sulpicio Lines, Inc. claimed captain Florencio Marimon Sr. for not making the right decisions in the midst of typhoon Frank.

Marimon is believed to have been among the fatalities in the tragedy, where the ship capsized off Romblon province last June 21.

The officials of Sulpicio, washing their hands off any liability in the tragedy, said it was Marimon's duty to make the right decisions when faced with bad weather at the time.
