Families of 39 Filipino crewmen who were aboard a cattle ship that sank during a typhoon are pleading for a search to continue and to expand into uninhabited islands and nearby waters, two weeks after their vessel capsized off Japan. In tears during an online news conference, family members urged authorities to resume a massive search effort, after Japan’s coastguard suspended its rescue last week. “We are getting frustrated not knowing where they are,” said Liberty Seneres, wife of chief engineer, Aristotle Sabillena.
