MANILA, Philippines - The local government of Talisay, Cebu is readying charges against the captain and owner of the Chinese ship that damaged a part of the Lagundi coral reef on Thursday.
Q’s Balitanghali reported that it is going to seek P50,000 in damages from MV United Majuro, the Chinese ship that damaged the Lagundi coral reef, which is considered to be a wildlife sanctuary or protected area.
The people guarding the reef reportedly shouted at the ship’s crew to avoid the area but also said that they might have not been understood because the ship’s personnel were all Chinese.
According to the report, the captain of the ship is currently being held in Talisay.
The local government was supposed to open the Lagundi coral reef to divers on March 25 to attract more tourists to the area. - Kimberly Jane T. Tan, GMANews.TV
