Guimaras oil spill
MT Solar 1, a tanker carrying bunker fuel for Petron, sank off Guimaras in August 2006. The spill contaminated coastal waters and affected mangroves, fisheries, marine habitats, and communities, including areas associated with the Taklong Island National Marine Reserve. It was described by Philippine authorities as the country's worst oil spill at the time.
