oil spill

Last August 11, 2006, news about an oil spill in the Guimaras Islands bannered our television screens. About 200,000 liters of oil is coming out of the sunken MT Solar I tanker which is currently damaging sea resources. The tanker is supposed to deliver bunker fuel from Bataan to Zamboanga but unfortunately sank.
Images of the oil spill were showed in the prime time news, where viewers could see how the oil slowly covers almost the entire sea of the Guimaras Island.

The oil spill has done more damages then expected. People involved must learn how to separate the oil from the water, no matter how hard it could get. other people whom the Petron is attributing the fault. Everyone involved seems to be pin pointing as to who will the fault rest. Everyone is blaming everyone connected to the incident.
