After a feeding program at our house clinic in cooperation with and fellow volunteers, I rushed to Rockwell excited to watch the premiere screening of After the screening all ll I can say is that award-winning Filipino director was very fortunate to have been tapped by to recreate the tragic with an oil tanker more than a decade ago.
This is the first documentary produced by in collaboration with a Philippine film production under the NGCI-EDB Development Fund. which tells of the tragic sinking of MV Doña Paz just few days before Christmas of 1987, will premiere on

If I remember correctly, this tragedy was far bigger than the Titanic in terms of number of fatalities. Essentially 2 ships kasi diba? Tragic talaga.
The worst part of it is, tragedies like this have not stopped in the Philippines – dami pa rin underqualified boatmen, uninspected ships and boats, tsk tsk tsk…
