A survivor, Donel Jade Mendiola, told DZMM radio that the weather was fine when the ferry left port in Quezon’s Real town but strong winds and large waves started to lash it about two hours into the trip.

“The vessel came to a halt and started taking in water in the front side. The passengers dashed to one side and the ferry started to sink,” Mendiola said. He said the passengers were instructed to don life vests.
