00:00 Two people were killed after a water taxi and passenger vessel hit the coast of Verde Island in Batangas yesterday.
00:09 The marina has now suspended the release of the alleged suspects in the sea.
00:16 The investigation is being conducted by the authorities.
00:18 Find out more on the latest news from Ryan Leziguez live.
00:21 Angelic Target was finished by the Philippine Coast Guard and the marina within five hours.
00:28 The investigation of the accident between the ocean jet and water taxi lasted until a week.
00:34 The marina has suspended the two sea vehicles after the incident on the side of Verde Island in Batangas.
00:43 Get this video just a few moments after the fast craft of the ocean jet and water taxi
00:51 that was used in the video "Makikitang Makulimlim" and "Maalon ng Magsagawa ng Rescue Operation"
00:58 by the authorities in the sea that is surrounded by Batangas and Oriental Mindoro.
01:03 In the initial investigation, the fast craft from Batangas Port went to Calapan Port,
01:08 while the water taxi went to Batangas Port.
01:11 The reason for the accident is not yet clear.
01:14 According to the first information of the Maritime Industry Authority or MARINA,
01:18 five passengers and four crew members were on board the water taxi.
01:22 Two of the crew members were on board, including the boat captain and third mate.
01:27 Two of the four Chinese nationals on board the water taxi were injured.
01:31 More than 100 passengers and 11 crew members of the fast craft were saved.
01:37 All the people who are considered here are looking at it.
01:40 Of course, the people who are considered here are the first to make the decision of the captains on the incident.
01:50 If there were proper lookouts, did they see the boats or the lookouts of the nearby sea vehicles?
02:00 And what did they do to avoid the collision?
02:03 They also check the weather and the equipment of the boats, if it's on the radar.
02:14 The MARINA has now issued a suspension of the safety certificate of the damaged sea vehicle.
02:20 The SHOCOS order will also be sent to explain to the MARINA
02:24 the owner of the damaged fast craft and water taxi
02:28 that was pulled towards Puerto Galera, the Hapango 1.
02:31 There is an automatic suspension that the Coast Guard District of Southern Tagalog,
02:38 the Comodoro Tavilla, in coordination with the MARINA,
02:41 that you were not allowed to use any assets of the water taxi.
02:48 Angelic, the MARINA will now conduct a marine casualty investigation
02:52 to find out the cause of the incident.
02:55 Angelic.
02:56 Okay, Ryan, are there life vests for the passengers that you are asking?
03:01 Because there could be more people who died there, right?
03:06 Well, Angelic, what we are saying now is that it is part of an investigation
03:15 to find out if there are life vests for the ocean jet and water taxi.
03:22 We know that life vests are very important for sea vehicles.
03:27 What Angelic said clearly by the Philippine Coast Guard is that there is no gale warning
03:32 that the Philippine Coast Guard initiated yesterday
03:36 regarding the accident at the ocean where the accident happened.
03:38 They said that the weather was a bit hazy but there was no gale warning.
03:42 Another thing that Angelic is looking at is if the two sea vehicles
03:47 that were on their radar, because according to the Philippine Coast Guard,
03:50 the ships have what is called a traffic separation scheme.
03:54 So they are looking at if the two ships or the water taxi and ocean jet
04:01 are in the right place when the incident happened.
04:03 Angelic.
04:03 All right. Thank you very much, Ryan Lasigas.
