Philippine oil spill

LastingNews has an update and links...

The news here is that overloading probably caused the ship to sink...and rumors the overloading was because they were "smuggling" oil but this part is unconfirmed.

and to make things worse, the sprays and chemicals used for the cleanup may have negative impact on the environment LINK

Well, there is some good news: Mayon volcano settling down...

But we still have Dengue and politics as usual and the usual crime...another Local politician killed.

And now the fight in Mindinao is increasing, there is a rumor that they will pull troops from here LINK

However, we saw a truck of soldiers in front of the "Waltermart" Mall yesterday, so security is still high, and the harvest is starting in six weeks...
