Pagudpud oil spill threatens to tourism, marine resources. Resort owners and fishermen directly affected by an oil spill in Barangay Balaoi in this town are being threatened with loss their regular income in the next few years if government authorities fail to respond quickly to contain the more than three-kilometer oil spillage of a wrecked North Korean vessel that ran aground the Pagudpud shoreline in early January.
October 19, super typhoon Juan aggravated the cranks of the vessel’s bunker oil containing about 160,000 liters on its upper deck, leaking about 30 liters per hour.
