Another accident has occurred barely 24 hours after the Superferry capsized on Sunday.
According to a local radio station, a Panamanian-registered vessel tilted and sank off Eastern Samar in the central part of the country early Monday morning.
The Philippine Coast Guard has been conducting search-and-rescue operations for the vessel since 2 a.m local time.
Initial reports reaching Coast Guard headquarters in Manila said the nearly 7 ton ship had two South Koreans and 18 Filipinos on board.
