00:00Another motor tanker sank in Mariveles, Bataan and the Philippine Coast Guard spotted a fugitive.
00:07In the middle of solving the problem, following the sinking of the MT Terra Nova in Limay,
00:12Bon Aquino was found alive.
00:19Ivan, the siphoning of oil is expected from the MT Terra Nova today.
00:25In the middle of solving the MT Terra Nova, another motor tanker sank in Mariveles, Bataan.
00:34Today, the siphoning of 1.4 million liters of industrial fuel from the sinking of the MT Terra Nova is expected to start.
00:42But it was put aside because the tanker's shum valve was found leaking, so it needs to be sealed.
00:49All the equipment that the harbor star needs is already there.
00:55We already know the position of the ship.
00:57They can't move yet because of the leak.
01:00Our priority is to seal the valves, the vents that have leaks.
01:06Although the leaks are minor.
01:08The Philippine Coast Guard gave the harbor star until Monday to finish sealing so that the siphoning can start on Tuesday.
01:16Divers say it's also difficult because of the bad weather.
01:19According to the PCG, from the 14-kilometer oil spill,
01:22the visible oil spill from the sinking of the MT Terra Nova is only two to three kilometers.
01:27The Greenpeace group is calling for immediate action from the government.
01:31According to the group, the oil spill reached the coastline of Hagonoy.
01:35The PCG is already investigating.
01:37It's only two to three kilometers.
01:39It's possible that some went to other places or some dispersed because we were already dispersed.
01:48The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources is still studying if the fishing ban will be implemented.
01:53We are yet also to gather information from the local government unit.
01:59We are still in the support system of the LGUs.
02:07But if the local government units would actually deem proper to declare, for example, fishing bans or aquanum reclamation,
02:19they have a mandate there.
02:23The barangays in Lima helped to create an improvised indigenous oil spill boom
02:28made from coconut husk and diamond.
02:30Our barangays will start immediate assistance.
02:36First is food security.
02:38We are also looking at livelihoods.
02:40Like I said, the sellers will also look at how they can provide assistance.
02:46It's possible that the fishing ban will be implemented.
02:54According to the Portavaga Ship Management Incorporated, owned by MT Terra Nova,
02:58the tanker that will transport the oil from the sinking tanker is already in Bataan and is ready.
03:03The personnel, machineries and equipment for the siphoning operation are already being transported.
03:08In Barangay Cabcabe in Mariveles, the motor tanker MTKR Jason Bradley sank in the sea yesterday.
03:15An underwater assessment was carried out and oil sheen and oil leaks were seen.
03:20That's why the oil spill boom PCG was installed.
03:23Apparently, this vessel did not clear from the Philippine Coast Guard, from the Bataan Coast Guard Station.
03:30We still don't know where the details are and what other details it has.
03:36But we will give you updates as soon as information is available.
03:40Ivan, according to Malolos Mayor Christian Natividad, oil was seen in the coastal area of Malolos since yesterday.
03:51PCG will check this and they are also preparing their equipment.
03:57Our countrymen, not even the PCG, will report to them if there is an oil spill so that they can respond immediately.
04:05Meanwhile, according to PCG, no oil spill was seen in the coastal areas of Manila, Batangas and Pampanga.
04:14Ivan?
04:16Thank you very much, Von Aquino.
