A police officer rescued at least seven to eight passengers during the fire on MV Lady Mary Joy 3 that left at least 29 people dead.
According to Raffy Tima's report on "24 Oras", Police Lieutenant Ricardo Juhan said that he went to sleep when the ship left the Zamboanga port.“Hindi ko na makita ang paligid ko sobrang dilim na tapos yung usok itim na rin po bumalik ako sa bedding ko tas kinuha ko yung life jacket ko tapos tumalon na lang ako,” Juhan said.
“Nagsisigaw din po kasi ako sabi ko wag kayo mag panic ganito ganyan tapos ina-advice ko na rin po sila sabi ko hubarin yung maong pants tas kung anong position sa paglangoy ang gamitin backfloat ganun po,” he said. The legal counsel of the ship, however, maintained that the crew “extended everything in their power to check passengers.”
