President Gloria Arroyo hit the question right, "How come the boat was able to travel when there was a typhoon coming?" The Coast Guard has something to say about this. At the same time, this tragedy reflects back to President Gloria Arroyo. Why? It happened on her watch.
But a society that seem to be organized and ran by institutions, this situation should have not happened and it is a far situation that some will call it "accident".
It is not an accident, it is neither an "act of God". We see the typhoon coming, it's in the early evening news, we see it at CNN's weather maps.
This is a tragedy that should be a thing of the past, it should have been history.
It looks like that nothing has changed given our record of disasters.
