                    [Summary] => 

Residents of Guimaras affected by the oil spill claimed the other day that hunger now looms over the province, specifically the more than 6,156 families who depend on the sea for their livelihood.


During the celebration of the World Food Day, the FoodFirst Information and Action Network-Philippines (FIAN-Philippines) and its partner-organization Victims of Oil Spill in Guimaras (VOSG) pressed the government, Petron Corp., and Sunshine Maritime Development Corp. (SMDC) to immediately put in place alternative livelihood projects and go beyond relief operations.

Petron should learn some lessons from the sinking of the tanker. Will the Philippine maritime industry learn anything from this catastrophe?
