5,720 DEATHS VIA SULPICIO LINES IN ALMOST 26 YEARS (1987 TO 17 AUGUST 2013)! SULPICIO LINES IN ANOTHER SHIPPING TRAGEDY!

5,720 DEATHS VIA SULPICIO LINES  IN ALMOST 26 YEARS (1987 TO 17 AUGUST 2013)! SULPICIO LINES IN ANOTHER SHIPPING TRAGEDY!
LIST OF SULPICIO LINES INCIDENTS:
1. M/V Dona Paz, December 1987: 4341 died (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-23729996);
2. M/V Dona Marilyn, 24 October 1988: 389 dead (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Doña_Marilyn);
3. M/V/ Princess of the Orient, 18 Sept. 1998, 150 died (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Princess_of_the_Orient);
4. M/V Princess of the Stars, 2008: around 814 died (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Princess_of_the_Stars);
5. Sulpicio Express Siete (7), 17 Aug. 2013 rammed into M/V St. Thomas Aquinas, at least 26 people died, 172, still missing.

The above figures date since 1987, almost 26 years ago. An average of 1 shipping incident every around 5 years. And deaths of 5,720 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. Aren't these  frightening figures? Shouldn't these numbers send chills into our bones? Do we have any other  transport company here in the Philippines, throughout our whole history,  which can equal or approximate such deadly record?

And had all the victims of Dona Paz, Dona Marilyn, Princess of the Orient, and Princess of the Stars already been given  adequate compensation by Sulpicio Lines? I hope that these narratives of man-made tragedies won't simply go on and on, and on.

I hope, Malacanang doesn't sleep on this matter, this record of Sulpicio Lines. I hope that this doesn't gather barnacles in the deepest fathoms of our country's maritime history.
