THE mayor of Pola, Oriental Mindoro, said the town plans to sue the owner of the tanker MT Princess Empress after it was revealed in a Senate hearing that it has no permit to operate.

In a recorded video interview with The Manila Times, Mayor Jennifer Cruz said she wanted to hold those behind behind the spill accountable.
