Philippine ferry fire death toll rises to 35, 54 missing

A fire aboard the MV June en route from Manila to Coron has killed at least 35 people, with 54 still missing and 43 survivors. Rescue efforts were hampered by strong currents, bad weather, and heat, and the death toll is expected to rise further. This is a maritime transport disaster with significant humanitarian impact, though it is not a market-moving event.
