Two passenger vessels collided at a port in the central Philippines on Monday morning, media reports said.

The MV Super Ferry 12 had stopped over at the Cebu port after it met rough waves on its way to Cagayan de Oro City, South Philippines.
The captain said that the collision bore a hole into his ship’s forward steel plating.
Even after the incident, the MV Super Ferry 12 still pushed through with its scheduled trip and sailed off south toward Cagayan de Oro City, the report said.
