SUBIC BAY FREEPORT — For seven years, Diwani Natural, 47, has welcomed tourists to the pristine coastlines of All Hands Beach, a popular beach resort located near a container terminal in this freeport.
But these days, as the clock nears 4 p.m., an overwhelming sense of dread sets in as staff brace for the daily arrival of a suffocating stench.
“We are terrified that our lungs will be affected,” Natural, a beach resort usher, told the Inquirer in a recent interview.
Natural is part of a heavily affected workforce at the resort bearing the brunt of an environmental and public health crisis unfolding at the nearby Subic Bay International Terminal Complex (SBITC).
