BW19990921_15Excerpt
A palpable gloom hangs over this coastal community in Northern Mindanao, where a murky green growth in the waters has been an unwelcome annual visitor since 1994. Smelly and ever-spreading, the green blight that appears here between the months of June and August all but kills marine organisms making their home near the shore. Yet, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in Region 10 has told the people here there is nothing to worry about, and that the nearby Asia Brewery, Inc. (ABI) plant, which residents suspect has something to do with the yearly green tide, is unlikely to blame for it.
