President Arroyo ordered yesterday Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) officials to improve their performance and ensure safe sea travel or be relieved from their posts.


Meanwhile, the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) is seriously considering raising the penalty on erring shippers to P100,000 from the present P20,000 in a bid to make them toe the line.

                    [Summary] => Charges of multiple homicide were filed with the Leyte Regional Trial Court yesterday against four Philippine Coast Guard personnel for the sinking of an inter-island ferry on May 11 that left 19 people dead, PCG commandant Vice Adm. Reuben Lista said.


Despite the filing of charges, however, President Arroyo was enraged yesterday by the PCG’s failure to enforce maritime regulations that could have saved the lives of the 19 people who died when the M/B Nilode capsized off Naval, Biliran around 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
