Philippine Coast Guard divers, flown out

Philippine Coast Guard divers, flown out from the site of the sunken Princess of the Stars ferry in Sibuyan, are seen during medical examinations at the East Avenue hospital in suburban Quezon city in Manila on June 28, 2008. Philippine officials on June 27 suspended recovery operations at a sunken ferry containing hundreds of dead bodies after learning it was carrying large amounts of highly toxic pesticide. The health department identified the chemical as endosulfan, a restricted pesticide. Health Secretary Francisco Duque ordered the divers to be tested as a precaution. "There are now efforts to assess exposures of divers and possible illness in case there was endosulfan exposure," Duque added.
