Interpol's laudable efforts

Interpol's effort in identifying the bodies of the victims of Typhoon Frank, mostly passengers and crew of the capsized MV Princess of the Stars, is more than laudable. It should be considered heroic.

Shouldering all the expenses in putting up a P10-million mobile morgue and the cost of DNA testing for each retrieved body is a noble deed for a huge, international police organization. So far, the Interpol - Disaster Victims Identification team has already identified 164 bodies, 122 of which through the high-tech and much dependable DNA testing.

And their works have just begun, said Nimal Mahagamage, Interpol Incident Response Team Leader. "We will not stop until the last retrieved body is identified and sent to the family," he said.

A really laudable act although there a few who are questioning the motive of Interpol.
