Philippines 'prepares for worst' after oil spill
MANILA — The Philippine Coast Guard has deployed floating barriers and started to clean up an oil spill to prevent it from reaching the capital, Manila.Authorities are racing to stop the oil spill from the 65-meter-long (213 feet) MT Terra Nova, which capsized on Thursday as monsoon rains battered large swathes of the country.The leak appeared to be coming from the ship's engine, not its cargo tank, which was carrying close to 1.5 million liters of industrial fuel, officials said.There are fears that the spill, which stretches out over several kilometers, could be the worst in the country's history if it is not contained.Videos released by the coast guard show a personnel siphoning oil from the affected waters with a bucket.But officials are "preparing for the worst",...
