First, it blamed Pag asa. Now its blaming Del Monte for the pesticide shipment.
Its lawyer Atty. Victoria Lim-Florido had this to say,
“There should be a complete a complete disclosure on the part of the shipper. We have to rely in good faith because the shipper is the owner of the cargo (endosulfan shipment). As the shipper, the (DMPI) has the obligation to fully disclose the kind of shipment. The contract in the bill of lading should have a complete disclosure.”
Crap. Sulpicio should not play innocent. With its patent lack of concern for the safety of its passengers, its not far fetched that Sulpicio has some knowledge of the shipment. Heck, this might have been going on for a long time and it could not have been discovered had MV Princess of the Stars did not sink.
And for the PAGASA blame, why of all the shipping lines, only Sulpicio is complaining against Pag asa? Superferry Lines also received PAGASA warning and it did something about it. It took shelter in Batangas. The irresponsible, negligent and profit oriented Sulpicio Lines did not heed the warning but instead let its ill fated ship sail straight into the path of the storm.
Now it is blaming on everyone.
Pesteng Sulpicio Lines talaga.
