41 die as ferry capsizes in Manila

MANILA: At least 41 people were killed after a passenger ferry with close to 200 people on board capsized in rough waters in the central Philippines on Thursday, officials said.
The Kim Nirvana was heading from the central city of Ormoc to the island of Camotes when it capsized.
Rescue boats picked up dozens of survivors who clung to the overturned hull of the vessel, one kilometre (about half a mile) from Ormoc port on Leyte island, Ciriaco Tolibao from the city’s disaster risk reduction and management office told AFP.
