In the serene coastal town bordering Manila Bay, an unforeseen disaster is unfolding. An oil tanker capsized last week, spewing 52,000 liters of diesel into the pristine waters. The local authorities report that the oil has already reached the beaches, spelling doom for the fishing community and raising concerns about the health of the residents, especially the children.
