[Title] => Caltex cleared in ‘Paz’ sinking
[Summary] => US oil retailer Caltex (Philippines) Inc. was absolved of liability yesterday by the Court of Appeals (CA) for the world’s worst peacetime maritime disaster in 1987, court officials said.
The court upheld a 1997 lower court ruling that dismissed claims against the company by the operators of the Doña Paz ferry.
The ferry had been rammed in the dark by the M/TVector, a small oil tanker chartered by Caltex. It sank, resulting in the loss of about 3,000 lives off Mindoro on Dec. 20, 1987.

[Title] => Christmas tragedy
[Summary] => As predictable as the traditions of Christmas are the disasters that mark the holiday celebrations. On Dec. 20, 1987, the ferry Doña Paz collided with the oil tanker Vector in Tablas Strait. The official death toll in the world’s worst peacetime maritime disaster was placed at 4,341, but the number could be higher, considering the common practice of not keeping accurate passenger manifests. In the rush to go to the countryside during the Christmas break, passengers find themselves crammed like sardines in ferries and buses.
