Dr Graciano Yumul, Undersecretary of the Department of Science and Technology, gestures during a press conference Friday 01 Sept 2006 in Zamboanga City. Yumul says the government is considering proposals to change the country's current sea lanes to protect the coast and marine sanctuaries from pollution after an oil spill at Guimaras Sea in the central Philippines last month. The oil tanker Solar 1 sank in bad weather and polluted more than 100 kilometers of coastline, threatening the ecological balance and in the Visayas region. (Mindanao Examiner)
