No PH troop deployment to South Korea

The Armed Forces of the Philippines will not be sending troops to South Korea over tensions in the Korean peninsula.

According to Malacanang spokesman Edwin Lacierda, South Korea has not

The Philippines sent troops to Korea during the Korean War and gained distinction on the battlefield.

If the AFP does send troops to South Korea again, it will be the second time for the Philippine Army as an institution and for some of its equipment.

Tanduay kills hundreds of fish, idiom

Tanduay Distillers, manufacturer of Tanduay Rhum, is being held liable for the deaths of hundreds of fish in Laguna de Bay.

Apparently, the Tanduay plant in Cabuyao, Laguna released alcohol into the Cabuyao River when the plant caught fire earlier this month.

On Oct. 21, the [Laguna Lake Deveopment Authority] told reporters that it started an investigation after fisherfolk reported that the dead fish from the lake emitted an odor similar to that of alcoholic drinks.

“The pollution that occurred was so extreme that the river beside the Tanduay plant is completely dead,” Zubiri said in an interview after the Senate hearing.
