00:00 The accident of a cargo ship in the Philippines killed three fishermen.
00:06 No one heard the siren from the ship that saved the fishermen.
00:11 Ian Cruz has the report.
00:13 Alicia, who was two years old, was hit by her father's body, Romeo Mejico Jr.
00:27 The child thought that her father would wake up.
00:30 Mejico was with Dexter Laudencia and Benedicto Olandria
00:36 who died after the ship hit their boat FV DIRIN
00:41 at the sea 85 nautical miles from Bajo Dimasinlo.
00:45 Her plan was that after our house, she will not be carried.
00:49 I hope that the one who did this to them will be punished.
00:52 The investigation is still ongoing.
00:54 But according to the Philippine Coast Guard, the accident was the collision of an oil tanker on a Filipino boat.
01:00 In the story of the survivors, the weather was bad and it was dark in the area
01:05 where a nautical highway or part of the route of the ship was being sailed.
01:10 This is an accident. It has nothing to do with China.
01:14 In the monitoring of the PCG, the oil tanker MV Pacific Ana Lang
01:19 was seen crossing the location of FV DIRIN when it hit.
01:23 The PCG is now coordinating with the Marshall Islands where the ship was registered.
01:28 If this can be confirmed, the ship was damaged, the process of the answer will not be easy.
01:35 We still need to see if they really know that they were hit.
01:41 In their story to the mayor of Subic, 11 survivors said that they did not hear any sound from the ship.
01:49 I did not hear any sound.
01:53 Did you see any light?
01:54 No.
01:55 Let's go there.
01:57 In the document from BIFAR Region 3, it was stated that on April 3,
02:02 the commercial fishing vessel license of FV DIRIN was issued with 8 small boats.
02:09 In some pictures, you can see the boat is completely in safety gear.
02:13 The boat also has lights so that it can see what is happening if it is dark.
02:18 In a visit to the fishermen village, BIFAR said that they will help in retrieving and restoring the wrecked FV DIRIN.
02:27 BIFAR will also give a 62-footer new boat to the Association of Victims.
