Excerpt

“Shellfishes harvested in the Bataan coastal waters are now safe for human consumption and likewise the gathering, harvesting and marketing of shellfishes in the area are now permitted,” the bureau advisory said. Mayor Gene de la Fuente of Samal welcomed the news. “My people will be very pleased on this report. They have been waiting and wishing for this. Now they can have a better Christmas,” the mayor of the town badly hit by red tide said in Filipino.
