Excerpt
A chemical spill hit Barangay San Miguel here on Saturday, November 4, prompting the evacuation of 248 families, police said Monday, November 6. Police said a land-based inspection revealed that the incident occurred during the loading of Solvent Naptha L at Tank No. 5 owned by a company in the area. Due to the untightened drain plug of the storage tank, the control valve within the containment area opened, and resulted in chemicals spilling to the rainwater canal up to the coastal area, police added.
