MANILA, Philippines--Many of the 800 passengers and crew on a ferry that sunk off the Philippines are feared dead, the Coast Guard said Sunday.

Coast Guard spokesman Armand Balilo said the likely death toll from the sinking, in heavy seas caused by a typhoon lashing the Philippines, could be high, adding "I am still hopeful for survivors."
