At the height of Typhoon Frank in June 2008, the ship MV Princess of the Stars continued its voyage to Cebu from Manila. Later that weekend, the ship had sunk.
Relatives and friends waiting in Cebu became emotional upon learning that their loved ones might not return alive and quickly blamed the Coast Guard and the ship's owner, Sulpicio Lines. ABS-CBN Cebu's Rico Lucena reports live.
In a story by Atom Araullo, Pres. Gloria Arroyo, then in the United States, grew angry during a phone briefing with disaster coordinating officials on the typhoon and the sinking.
