To recall, water said areas were badly affected by the oil spill from said ship owned by the 2Go Group which sunk after it was rammed last August 16 by Sulpicio Express Siete, a cargo vessel owned by Philippine Span Asia Carrier Corp. (formerly Sulpicio Lines, Inc.) in Lawis Ledge, off Talisay, Cebu.
