Excerpt

While Covid-19 causes respiratory ailments to humans, an oil spill can cause an irreparable damage to marine life. In fact, an oil spill in the ocean can be compared to the coronavirus in the land in terms of the magnitude of destruction to habitat and human life. When dealing with oil and chemical spills like what happened on July 3 in Iloilo City, Guimaras, and Dumangas, Iloilo, there are many questions that need to be answered.
