Water samples near the sunken ship MV Princess of the Stars near Sibuyan Island in Romblon tested negative of contamination from the pesticide endosulfan, an official of the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority (FPA) said Wednesday.

FPA Executive Director Norlito Gicana said the results of the July 1 surface water tests have been forwarded to Transport Undersecretary Elena Bautista.
