Showing no signs of abating, the Taal Lake fishkill has spread to two more towns and a city over the weekend. Authorities on Sunday reported tons of farmed and endemic fish species turning belly up in new areas of the freshwater lake, just hours after they were done emptying some of the worst-hit fish cages of rotting stock from last week’s devastation. The new fishkill hit the towns of Mataas na Kahoy and Cuenca, as well as Lipa City, provincial information officer Ginette Segismundo told the Inquirer on Sunday.
