18 people have died after a ferry carrying over 300 people capsized off Basilan province in the southern Philippines on Monday. The Philippine coastguard says the boat, travelling between Zamboanga and Jolo, was within its authorized passenger capacity when it sank around 2am local time, leading to a large-scale rescue operation to bring 316 survivors to the port of Isabela.⁣ ⁣ #Phillipines #Basilan #Ferry #Sea #Rescue #Coastguard #Disaster #Boat⁣
