BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

August 18, 2014 Reprints

The Cordova municipal government in the Philippines and some fishermen are demanding that owners of MV St. Thomas Aquinas and MV Sulpicio Express Siete pay around 132 million Philippine pesos ($3 million) for damage caused by an August 2013 collision.

The fishermen are separately seeking compensation of at least PHP 81 million ($1.8 million) for the loss of livelihood from the oil spill, Inquirer.net reported.

The collision, which claimed 116 lives, saw 2GO Group Inc.'s St. Thomas Aquinas sink and spill fuel that polluted the coastline in Cordova.
