2. Aquatic microorganisms causing the paralytic shellfish poison (PSP), or red tide toxins were detected in the waters off Pangasinan and Pampanga. Conditions like warm sea surface temperatures and high nutrient content are the identified factors that are favorable to the rapid increase of this algae causing PSP. This prompts the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) to impose a shellfish ban in the affected areas. 3. Earthquakes are usual in the country due to its position along the Pacific Ring of Fire. A magnitude 6.5 earthquake rocked Central and Eastern Mindanao on Thursday, October 31, 2019, just two days after a strong tremor killed several people and hurt hundreds of others in the region. 4. Oil Spill in Guimaras has adversely marine affected sanctuaries and mangrove reserves in three out of five municipalities in Guimaras Island and reached the shores of lloilo and Negros Occidental. According to the report of Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the crisis damaged 1,500 hectares (more than 3,700 acres) of the local ecosystem consisted of mangroves, seagrass, and coral reefs. 5. The country is considered as one of the most seriously deforested countries in the tropics. Deforestation led to extremely high rates of soil erosion and has likely contributed to the Philippines' high number of flood-related disasters, which kill hundreds on a near-annual basis.
