00:00The quality of the water below the ground near the town of Limay, Bataan will be tested

00:06due to the sinking of the MT Terranova.

00:08The salvage operation of another tanker that sank in Mariveles will take place in two weeks.

00:14Jun Veneracion is a witness.

00:19The oil or shale is only thin in a small part of Hagonoy, Bulacan, and Cavite

00:24from the oil of the MT Terranova that sank in Limay, Bataan.

00:28It is based on the latest aerial inspection of the Philippine Coast Guard today.

00:33According to the salvaging company,

00:35they have already sealed the pressure valves and high-level alarm sensor of the tanker.

00:41Only one liter of oil is leaking every hour.

00:44That cannot be affected in our marine environment.

00:47So, this is a big development.

00:50Tomorrow, it is expected that the siphoning will start.

00:55300,000 liters of oil is needed to sink the motor tanker.

01:00It is being pushed to Pampang so that the siphoning will continue.

01:03The motor tanker Elena Marie, which is the sister tanker of the motor tanker Terranova,

01:11will also arrive today, in which all the IFOs that can be siphoned will be brought to the motor tanker Elena Marie.

01:19But according to the estimate of the UP Marine Science Institute,

01:22there is a possibility that oil spills from the MT Terranova will be caused by the oil spill.

01:27Coastal areas in Cavite may also be affected by the movement of the wind.

01:31Water cannons are still used in areas where oil is seen while the oil dispersant spray is stopped

01:37because it is not effective and it needs to be replaced with another kind.

01:41There are also improvised oil spill booms made in Balat, New York.

01:46A while ago, various agencies of the government and local governments

01:50were called to stop the oil spill.

01:52According to the Department of Health,

01:54groundwater should be supplied to Bataan so that it can be safely saved.

01:57We have deployed a team to conduct drinking water testing near the shoreline.

02:07According to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,

02:10they did not notice anything unusual in the fish markets in Bataan markets.

02:14But laboratory tests for fish and grass still need to be conducted.

02:19We coordinated with the local government units,

02:23especially the Provincial Local Government Unit of Bataan,

02:26where we gave them advisory on how to do emergency harvests.

02:34Meanwhile, fishing vans in Limay and Bulacan were put to work,

02:38especially when oil slick was seen by the group Greenpeace.

02:42In the neighboring town of Limay, Mariveles,

02:45another oil tanker exploded last Saturday.

02:48MP Jason Bradley brought 5,500 liters of diesel.

02:53From the air, the ship looked like an antenna floating in the sea.

02:57It was surrounded by an oil spill boom,

03:00and two Coast Guard ships were guarding the area.

03:03It will take around two weeks for the salvage operations to be completed for this second vessel.
