                    [Title] => Survivors: Ship's crew hid us from Coast Guard inspectors
                    [Summary] => 

CEBU - At least 20 survivors of the ill-fated MV Asia South Korea said in sworn statements that the crew hid them in the cargo area and inside cabins when the Coast Guard conducted a second headcount before clearing the vessel.

But Pepito Suello, a lawyer-member of the special marine board of inquiry, said that unless the 20 survivors testify before the board, their allegations would remain hearsay.

As expected, officials of the ill-fated ship denied hiding the passengers.

The 20 survivors from Iloilo will be asked to appear before the board early next month.
