I'm glad that even Ted Failon is now asking why Sulpicio Lines, despite its horrendous record of casualties (Since 1987, almost 26 years ago: An average of 1 shipping incident every around 5 years. And deaths of around 5,740 in almost 26 years, meaning around 1,140 deaths every 5 years, or around 220 deaths every year. That's around 18.3 deaths every 30 days, or around 6 deaths every 10 days, 3 deaths every 5 days, or 1 death every other day in 365 days) still has its franchise afloat. Simple answer: It's because the EXACT SAME IMPUNITY that caused the PORK BARREL SCANDAL is still very much alive in the very veins of society, wreaking havoc! It's also worth noting that the PORK BARREL SCANDAL, the COLLISION OF SULPICIO SIETE, and the RAVAGES OF HABAGAT & MARING, happened on juxtaposed periods. Outlining the fact that the 3 realities are all commonly pervaded by the sinister and damaging spirit of IMPUNITY that chronically ails our country. Thus, in my heart and mind I'll be marching on Monday not only versus the obnoxious PDAF scandal, but also versus the monsters which cause the tragedies of Sulpicio Lines, of Ondoy, of Pablo, of Pepeng, of Habagat-cum-Maring, and the other ills besetting Inang Bayang Magiliw. Ever proud to be Pinoy!
