Philippines ferry sinks near Basilan; hundreds rescued as search continues

A ferry carrying more than 350 people sank shortly after midnight off Basilan island in southern Philippines. Officials said 332 passengers and 27 crew were aboard; rescuers had saved about 215 people and recovered seven bodies, with search-and-rescue operations led by the coast guard and navy alongside fishing boats. Sea accidents are common in the archipelago due to storms, overcrowding and safety enforcement, and the Dona Paz disaster in 1987 remains the worst peacetime maritime tragedy.
