MANILA, Philippines — Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco distributed Certificate of Tourism Grants to frontline tourism workers affected by the oil spill in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro, the agency said Thursday. The DOT said in a statement that the agency will also host training programs that would allow affected workers to have alternative jobs in line with the industry, which the agency also assured last March. 'The certificate entitles the organization to tourism training interventions with starter kits for alternative livelihoods while they cannot engage in their present occupation due to the oil spill,' the Tourism said in a statement.

ILOILO CITY, Iloilo, Philippines — The oil spill from the tanker MT Empress Princess that sunk off Naujan, Oriental Mindoro, on Feb. 28 has already reached the island town of Caluya, between Mindoro and Panay, only about 18 nautical miles west of Boracay Island in Aklan. According to Com. Jansen Benjamin, public information officer of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Western Visayas District, the PCG was still consolidating actual figures. But he said the PCG station in Semirara, one of the five islands of Caluya, reported that the oil spill has so far affected at least a five-kilometer stretch of coastline covering three villages in the island.

In the Netflix historical drama series 'Vikings: Valhalla,' the Christian king Olaf Haraldsson, and the Pagan queen, Freydis Eiriksdottir prayed to their god/gods for success against their enemies before a bloody pivotal battle between their two armies. Indeed, the scene depicts the clash over their conflicting Christian and Pagan beliefs about the creative tension between human agency and divine providence. I am reminded of that scene upon reading Mahar Mangahas' column, 'Are prayers answered?' (Social Climate, 4/15/23).
