Molasses spilled from a tanker in the waters off Sagay City in Negros Occidental, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) confirmed yesterday. The PCG deployed a team to clean up the tons of molasses that spilled from the Mary Queen of Charity on Wednesday. Initial details gathered by the PCG showed that approximately 300 metric tons of molasses had been loaded into the tanker when Sagay port personnel noticed a discoloration in the waters surrounding the vessel.
