International environment campaigner Greenpeace has again brought its newest and biggest ship to Manila to rally Filipinos in protecting local seas which the group said is among the world's most threatened.
"Greenpeace is sounding the alarm on the crisis currently facing Philippine seas, and is working to promote the conservation, protection and sustained management of the country's marine resources," the activist group said in a statement.
