00:00The effect of the oil spill, especially on the livelihood of fishermen and fishermen in other parts of Manila Bay,

00:07is estimated to be more than P300 million pesos.

00:09The possible value of the fishing nets, based on the BIFAR data, was pointed out by Mark Salazar.

00:19The fishermen in Manila Bay are waiting anxiously

00:23since the oil tanker MT Terra Nova hit Manila Bay.

00:26It was hit by a typhoon when it hit Baguio, Carina and Habagat.

00:30Have you caught any fish?

00:32Not yet.

00:34According to the model forecast from the UP Marine Science Institute,

00:38it is estimated that oil spills will reach the towns of Metro Manila

00:43along with Paranaque due to the high probability of oil landfall.

00:47Yesterday, the towns of Noveleta, Rosario, Tanza, Naic and Ternate sa Cavite were expected to catch fish.

00:55If the oil spill here in Manila Bay does not subside,

00:59the BIFAR estimates that the possible effect will reach P351 million pesos

01:06for the 46,000 fishermen from the Central Luzon region of Region 4A

01:13to become fishing community here in NCR around Manila Bay.

01:18It was the fourth oil spill of Julius earlier after Baguio, Carina and Habagat.

01:23And he's happy because they haven't seen an oil spill yet.

01:27If there's an oil spill, we'll also be affected.

01:30It's a pity for our livelihood.

01:32The biggest dam ever is in seashells like the Tahong.

01:37This is a big threat to Junel and many Paranaque fishermen

01:42who are fishing in Manila Bay.

01:44Right now, the wind is not good.

01:49The sea is clear here.

01:53In the town of Tanza, Cavite, the Philippine Coast Guard

01:58and the Environmental Management Bureau were able to collect oil leaks.

02:01This leak was caused by the 1.4 million liters of industrial fuel oil

02:07loaded by MT Terra Nova.

02:09But because the leaking valves of the ship were closed,

02:12the oil spill in Mindoro did not escalate.

02:16The BIFAR decided not to implement the fishing ban.

02:20It's up to the local government units to decide if they will declare it.

02:24The mandate of the BIFAR is to continue the assessment and evaluation

02:29on the safety of fish consumption in affected areas.

02:37The oil spill in marine life is still not measured.

02:41But experts say...

02:43I can say, here in Manila Bay,

02:46Manila Bay still has coral reef areas

02:51in the mouth, Corregidor, Mariveles area.

02:55And there are sightings of fish there.

03:00So, we don't know how bad the impact is.

03:10We don't have personnel on the ground.

03:13So, it's the Coast Guard and BIFAR and DNR

03:17that's doing the ground assessments.

03:21For now, it can be said that the oil spill is under control.

03:24But a clean-up operation is still needed

03:27for the victims who were affected.

03:29If we will be part of the clean-up,

03:31we should have protective equipment.

03:33We should not have contact with the oil leak.

03:38Because the smell of the oil, especially those who are asthmatic,

03:41can be affected.

03:42For GMA Integrated News,

03:44Mark Salazar,

03:46for 24 Hours.
