                    [Summary] => Two officials of the Coast Guard and Bureau of Fire Protection were recommended to be administratively charged for their failure to control the fire that gutted the MV Maria Carmela  while traveling from Masbate to Quezon province last April 11.


But the Special Board of Marine Inquiry did not find any criminal liability in their actions and those of police officials at the scene, neither that of the Carmela’s skipper and other officials.

The seven-man investigating panel of the Board of Marine Inquiry (BMI) has grilled dozens of witnesses and crewmembers to provide clues on how the fire started.
