    Excerpt
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) is conducting an investigation to determine an unknown toxin that might have been present in crabs and had caused the death of a couple in Naujan town, this province. The crabs in question, eaten by spouses Romulo Evora, 61, and Cristeta, 59, were reportedly caught near a discharge site of a still-to-be-constructed multi-million geothermal power plant owned by energy giant, Emerging Power, Inc. (EPI). Ruben J. Jardin, BFAR Region 4-B (Mindoro Oriental, Mindoro Occidental, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan) officer-in-charge, said results of a medical examination on the fatalities are still being awaited.
