Reckless ship owners in the Philippines were threatened with the death penalty yesterday, as the second ferry to sink in five days went down, government officials said.

But all the 137 people on board the Peñafrancia were rescued after it hit an uncharted underwater hazard as it sailed into the port of Batangas at 2 a.m., the Coast Guard said.

Government investigators said hitting an uncharted water hazard only meant that the vessel had veered off its original course.

ZAMBOANGA CITY -- At least 35 more bodies from the overloaded Annahada ferry tragedy in Sulu were recovered yesterday, raising the known death toll to 139, officials said.

Sulu police chief Candido Casimiro said 10 bodies were found at sea off the province of Tawi-Tawi, and 25 were found along Sulu coastal areas.

"We are waiting for the corpses so we can identify them and turn over the bodies to their families for burial," he said.
