00:00The Philippine Coast Guard hopes to finish siphoning operations of the oil spill in Limay, Bataan in seven days.
00:07PCG spokesperson Rear Admiral Armando Balilo says siphoning will not be very technical and can be done quickly as it is submerged in shallow waters.
00:16He adds, there is nothing to worry about, but his agency will not be complacent.
00:20MT Terra Nova capsized and eventually sank 1.10 a.m. on Thursday around 3.6 nautical miles or around 7 kilometers east of Lamau Point in Limay, Bataan.
00:30Limay Mayor Nelson David says Friday, around 400 to 500 liters of the vessel's engine fuel leaked.
00:36There are no reports yet if the industrial fuel oil it was carrying was already spilling.
