| Ferry Boat Travel in the Philippines |
Worse than the Titanic! Dona Paz burned and sank in December 1987.
I was living in Manila when the Princess of the Stars sank. Fortunately none of my wife's friends or relatives were aboard. But, many, many people lost loved ones.
I know people who have sailed on ferry boats in the Philippines without incident. But, I choose not to. Flying in the Philippines is the way we have traveled from island to island.
Before you decide to travel by ferry in the Philippines check out this list of maritime disasters in the Philippines.
In the Dona Paz video a survivor says, "I won't ride a ship again, even if it's free." After watching the video you may decide to travel only by land and air in the Philippines.
Check out more about the Dona Paz tragedy at Wikipedia.
There are smaller boats which I would be happy to travel in. For example, small sail boats and catamarans which give rides to tourists in places like Boracay.
July 2, 2015. Hmm, maybe I will not ride in catamarans. See this story about a catamaran which capsized. Fifty six souls perished when it capsized (at latest count). See another story and video about the disaster.
Update Aug. 15, 2015 Another ferry engulfed in flames.

Other forms of transportation in the Philippines are bicycle, motorcycle, airplane, bus, taxi, jeepney, train, tricycle and pedicab.
