Have you ever wondered what happens when a colossal tanker carrying thousands of liters of diesel fuel capsizes just off the coast of a bustling city? Days have passed since such a disaster struck near Mariveles, within Manila Bay, casting a shadow over the lives of local渔民.
In the coastal community of Manila, the echoes of resilience intermingle with the whispers of despair. Fishermen, once the proud stewards of the sea, now find their lives in tatters. Typhoon Gimi has left a trail of destruction, with boats shattered and swept away by relentless waves and rising water levels. Alan Pora's boat was among the casualties, leaving him to grapple with the harsh reality of his profession's vulnerability. "It's been hard. I'm not making any money because I'm not able to fish, and that means I'm not able to feed my family properly."
Typhoons are no strangers to the Pacific region, yet the recent Typhoon CI has left a path of destruction that is both alarming and thought-provoking. Amidst the chaos, a Philippine tanker's unfortunate encounter with towering waves in Manila Bay has unleashed a new crisis—a massive oil spill threatening the heart of the capital, Manila.
