Anatomy of a Disaster tackles ocean waves
CEBU, Philippines - The sheer volume of the ocean, covering more than seventy percent of the earth’s surface, has given it much command over nature. As an archipelagic nation, the Philippines lay witness to the immense power of the ocean. Its ability to support and sustain life has given the country the world’s most ecologically diverse waters.
However, on certain conditions, its enormous strength and power can turn against the people who have treaded on a fine line between respect and fear for the ocean for thousands of years.
Richard Gutierrez finds out how people manage the force of nature found in ocean waves. He also dissects the elements that contribute in tragedies brought by the wrath of the ocean.
Anatomy of a Disaster looks back on the role of the ocean in the Philippines’ biggest tragedies of this century – the capsizing of the MV Princess of the Stars and the oil spill in Guimaras caused by the sinking of MT Solar 1.
More importantly, Richard Gutierrez gives the viewers helpful tips on how to avoid figuring into these mishaps with nature.
Join Richard Gutierrez as he looks into the enormous power of the ocean in Anatomy of a Disaster: Lakas ng Karagatan.
