Four weeks after a Philippine tanker loaded with 800,000 litres (210,000 gallons) of thick oil sank off the central island of Mindoro, the vessel is still leaking. Authorities have banned fishing and swimming indefinitely, leaving thousands of fishermen wondering how long they can survive.

"If this situation prolongs, I might pull one of my children out of school because we don't have a source of income," fisherman Marlon Fabrero said.
