Excerpt

Despite the oil spill, fish caught in Rosario, Cavite, is safe to eat, according to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources. Lawyer Asis Perez, BFAR director, said water samples were found negative for any contamination. "Yes, of course, fish there is safe for human consumption," he told the Manila Standard. Since Aug. 9, Perez said experts have kept a close watch on the conditions of the spill area.
