It is also important to put into context our anger over this incident involving the USS Guardian and not exaggerate as to make it the catastrophe it might not be. In fact, we should probably wait until the assessment of damage now being conducted by Filipino scientists is completed before we make our final judgments. 1,000 sq. m. against the entire 970,300,000 sq. m. is “only” 0.0001 percent of the park. As others graphically put it, the damage is equivalent to at least two basketball courts to an area.
