FAMILIES of victims of the mv Princess of the Stars tragedy began planning yesterday a lawsuit against Sulpicio Lines Inc., after five stress-filled days of waiting for information about their loved ones.
The Insurance Commission 7, meanwhile, said it will assist the heirs to speed up the release of their benefits, said Director Cesar Olaer Jr. Each family stands to get at least P200,000 each from the vessel’s insurance.
