                    [Summary] => 

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.

Last week, the overloaded Annahada sank off Sulu, claiming at least 139 lives. [DatePublished] => 2000-04-18 00:00:00 [ColumnID] => 133272 [Focus] => 0 [AuthorID] => 1204061 [AuthorName] => by SheilaCrisostomo, AFP [SectionName] => Headlines [SectionUrl] => headlines [URL] => ) ) )
