“San Miguel Corporation’s legacy of harm continues with the confirmation of its role in yet another oil spill with the sunken MT Terranova. It has yet to be held accountable for the devastation it caused tens of thousands of fisherfolk in the Verde Island Passage, and now it is wreaking havoc to communities all throughout Bataan, Manila Bay, and beyond.
This cannot be another case of a polluter simply being allowed to cover up its tracks and walk away. As we join the many concerned voices calling for urgent action to stop the spread of the spill, we also ask for an urgent investigation and for justice for affected communities and our marine environment.”
