SUBSCRIBEMV Catalyn D sunk

MV Catalyn D on its way to Coron from Manila sunk off the coast of Mindoro Occidental last Sunday. It came as a surprise to me since it was the boat that I took from Cuyo to Coron Palawan around October last year for an assignment to shoot the fortress churches there and in Culion. I wouldn’t have taken it since I was already on boarded another ship bound for Puerto Princesa but when I learned that Catalyn D will travel direct to Coron, I switched.
I had plans to do a photodocumentary on that boat on one of its trips Manila – Cuyo – Manila but now, it seems that I have to look for another potential subject.
