A Prayer and A Candle For Lost Lives
I think most people are already aware of what happened to MV Princess of the Stars, one of the biggest ships of Sulpicio Lines. Wherein, the ship sank and killed many people. Many people are still missing right now. More than 800 people was aboard the ship last Sunday. While it was on sea, it was hit by the strong typhoon, Frank. It was strong enough to make the ship sink and kill the people on it. Most of them are old people or children. I really can’t imagine the site of it. The company is being questioned right now, for letting the ship sail even if Frank was already on signal number 1. The management said that its because its not covered by the guidelines, because this ship is known to be very big and can even sail despite having signal number 3. But now, look what happened. Just because one person decided (the captain) to go, the lives of people have been endangered. Very few survived. And if they may have survived, they will never forget the tragedy and the agony of the experience.
I know it was an accident, and it was never meant to be. But, I think if proper guidelines was followed, it could have been prevented. In a business, we should not only think of money and profit, we should also think of the welfare of the people, specially if its very risky.
All we can do right now, is to offer a prayer for all the people who have lost their lives. Praying that they may somehow rest in peace.
