(UPDATE) TACLOBAN CITY —The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in Region 8 (Eastern Visayas) lifted the red tide warning at Cancabato Bay in Tacloban City and the coastal waters of Guiuan in Eastern Samar as the seawater examined in these areas tested negative for red tide toxin.
The "red tide" refers to coastal conditions in which the water is discolored due to a high concentration of algae.
