    The government should look for and investigate other Chinese dredging vessels operating illegally in Philippine waters following the seizure of the 2,340-ton MV Zhonhai 68 off Bataan and Bulacan provinces by authorities last week for “illegal and unauthorized presence” in the country. Bayan Muna chair Neri Colmenares said he took photos of the dredger, which was with another Chinese vessel, while filming a documentary in Zambales province in February 2019.
  • Tubbataha still open to divers
    Santos, Tina G. (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2013-03-02)
    The ongoing salvage operations for the United States Navy warship USS Guardian, which remains grounded at the Tubbataha Reef, will not prevent diving enthusiasts from exploring the underwater beauty of the diving site. Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Palawan District commander Commodore Enrico Efren Evangelista said divers would still be allowed by the Tubbataha Management Office (TMO) to explore parts of the coral reef not affected by the grounding incident. The USS Guardian ran aground in Tubbataha Reef and damaged about 4,000 square meters of the atoll.
