It’s oil spill déjà vu for Guimaras
Excerpt
It’s déjà vu for the island province of Guimaras as 20 villages claimed to have been affected by the oil spill triggered by an explosion in Power Barge 102 of Ayala-owned AC Energy Philippines last July 3, 2020. The term déjà vu is French which literally means “already seen.” It describes the feeling of an overwhelming sense of familiarity with something. Guimaras was the epicenter of the August 11, 2006 oil spill triggered by the sinking of oil tanker MT Solar 1 owned by Sunshine Maritime Development Corp. and chartered by Petron off the southern coast of Guimaras. It was considered the worst environmental mishap in the Philippines.
