                    [Summary] => 



The contamination of the town of Concepcion has alarmed mayors of other coastal towns in the province that the oil slick might also reach their communities.


In Tuesday’s meeting of local executives with Iloilo Gov. Niel Tupas, the Iloilo town mayors passed a resolution approving a possible boycott of Petron products should the fuel firm fail to salvage the sunken tanker or solve the environmental problem by the weekend.

"It’s almost impossible  to get hotel bookings now for the Holy Week," complained Noring Tonogbanua, secretary of the Bacolod Capitol Lions Club.


One reason for the congestion, especially just before the Holy Week, is that many vacationers had decided to visit provincial and local tourist sites instead of traveling abroad.

"It was like a stampede of wild horses," reported a Visayas Daily Courier correspondent covering the games.


As of press time, there was no additional report on whether anybody was injured in the stampede. Many of those who rushed out of the complex were reportedly hysterical, including some members of the games media bureau who thought that terrorists had exploded a bomb.
