Victims’ Relatives Being Made To Sign Blank SPAs

Written on Thursday, July 3rd, 2008 at 6:32 am | by Ding G. Gagelonia

What may be an attempt by Sulpicio Lines to avoid massive damage suits from the families of the victims in the Sibuyan Sea tragedy has been exposed with the Public Attorneys Office discovering blank Special Power of Attorney (SPA) forms being given to unsuspecting claimants.

The Justice Department has warned the grieving relatives not to sign any such forms while local officials in Romblon are not threatening to initiate a class action suit against the shipping line.

The bare faced maneuver is being denied by their Sulpicio’s lawyer who says they will investigate who is behind the alleged Sulpicio document. But the documents appear to expose a dark machination. This harks back to a previous item here at FV entitled Suspicious Sulpicio.

Boo is too kind a word to use here. Where are the lightning strikes when we need them!
