Quezon - All 61 passengers of a bus that plunged into a 30-foot ravine survived miraculously even as 39 of them were injured in Barangay Silangang Malicboy, this town, Monday morning. Chief Inspector Francis Pasno, Pagbilao chief of police, said the injured were taken to the nearby Jane County Hospital. Payno said the Manila-bound Eagle Bus (THP-443), with 61 passengers from Ormoc, suddenly lost its brakes and fell into the ravine while engaging a downhill curve along the Old Zigzag Road near the jamboree site of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines at 7:30 a.m. (Danny Estacio and Ferdinand F.
