At the recent Mindanao Development Forum held in Davao City, panelists in a discussion on “Planet: Enhancing Resilience and Sustainable Development of the Mindanao River Basin” underscored the importance of popularizing science among policymakers, local chief executives, and other stakeholders, particularly at the grassroots level. “Planet” is one of the five thematic sessions, along with “People,” “Prosperity,” “Partnerships” and “Peace,” during the forum organized by the Mindanao Development Authority.

Reports from the Philippine Coast Guard said port personnel observed discoloration in the waters surrounding MT Mary Queen of Charity. “The 490-GT vessel was conducting shore-to-ship operations, from a lorry truck loading molasses to the ship. Approximately 300 metric tons of molasses were already loaded when the discoloration was monitored in the vicinity waters,” the PCG report stated.
