00:00In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

00:11Amen.

00:12Amen.

00:13Amen.

00:14Amen.

00:15Almost 8 million pesos worth of various drugs are listed in the parcels in Pasay.

00:20Let's take a look.

00:25Women's T-shirt was declared sent from America for a recipient in Bacolod City.

00:30But 468 grams of Marijuana Crush is the contents of the parcel in the Central Mail Exchange Center in Pasay City.

00:38Its standard value is P655,000.

00:42Another parcel from America is a collectible camera film rolldown going to Cebu City.

00:47But it contains 96 boxes of Marijuana Oil worth more than P5,000.

00:53P6.5 million worth of drugs is the contents of the parcel from Pakistan

00:59and is named after a recipient in Naga Kamarina Sur.

01:03The Bureau of Customs was turned over to the issued parcels in Pidea.

01:07In Dalampasiga, Sanchez Mira, Cagayan, two fishermen found a bag containing Shabu.

01:14Its weight is more than 1 kilo and is worth more than P1 million.

01:18Last week, a bag containing Shabu was also found by the seaside, which is surrounded by Ilocos Norte.

01:25For GMA Integrated News, I am Joseph Morong, your eyewitness.

01:31Another new eyewitness, the price of LPG will rise on the first day of August.

01:35Petrol will be sold at a price of P30 per kilo of their LPG.

01:40That is equivalent to more than P3 per regular tank.

01:44Solane will be sold at a price of P27 per LPG or almost P3 per regular tank.

01:54The price of Shabu worth more than P20 million is listed as an NBI

01:58in Las Piñas City, which is hidden by solar lights.

02:02Nigeria is under arrest for shipping it abroad, including its live-in partner.

02:08Witness, John Consulta.

02:13It looks like an ordinary package at first glance.

02:16The contents of this vehicle, which was hijacked by the NBI Special Task Force in Las Piñas,

02:21was arrested by a Nigerian national and his live-in partner, who illegally shipped it.

02:26This is your package?

02:27Yes, sir. This is the stone tender I sent.

02:29But when they opened it, some pieces of solar lights came out with a package stuck inside.

02:35When NBI chemists examined the plastic inside the lights using their equipment,

02:40the result was...

02:41It's a positive probe for methamphetamine hydrochloride.

02:44So it's clear.

02:46Actually, I don't know what is inside.

02:48Someone asked me to send it to Nigeria.

02:50To Nigeria?

02:51Yes, sir.

02:52According to NBI, based on their informant,

02:55the shipment of drugs is being done by a suspect who is being supplied to their country several times.

03:01It looks like it's coming from the Philippines.

03:05It will be shipped abroad.

03:06Something is wrong, right?

03:09Usually, from other countries, it will be brought here.

03:14But this is different.

03:16From here, it will be brought to Nigeria.

03:183.87 kilos of shabu was recovered from the operation,

03:22which is worth Php 26 million.

03:25The two were arrested for smuggling dangerous drugs.

03:29For GMA Integrated News, I'm John Consulta.

03:33Your Saksi.

03:36An expert predicts that it is possible to get home from the most dangerous oil spills in the country,

03:40the sinking of MT Terranova at Limay Bataan,

03:43if the oil spill is not stopped.

03:46The problem is, the sinking of 1.4 million liters of industrial fuel has not yet started.

03:53In Cavite, where the oil spill reached,

03:568 places were submerged in a state of calamity.

03:59There is also a fishing ban in several coastal towns from Bacoor to Ternate.

04:04Saksi, this is June Veneration.

04:10Until a while ago, someone was still fishing in Bacoor, Cavite.

04:14Many are still selling on the side of the road.

04:16Their products have not yet been affected by the oil spill.

04:20If there is oil, they will not fish anymore.

04:22They will stop fishing.

04:23Because it is a waste.

04:25It will be destroyed if it cannot be bought from us.

04:28Until a while ago, were you still fishing?

04:30Yes.

04:31This is the content.

04:32This is the content.

04:33The content is very good.

04:35Bacoor is included in 7 towns and 1 city in Cavite,

04:39which has been submerged in a state of calamity.

04:41A fishing ban has also been implemented in several coastal towns from Bacoor to Ternate.

04:46Around 5 people are selling here per year.

04:49If that's the case, there's nothing we can do.

04:53That's what they told us.

04:55Don't worry because the province will not allow

05:01that our people will be separated and lose their livelihood.

05:06We will immediately provide rice to help our fisherfolks.

05:14In the middle of the Hulugan Tres Basin in the town of Tangsa,

05:17the provincial environment and natural resources

05:20collected the oil from the sand and garbage.

05:24They collected 300 bags of garbage containing oil.

05:28As we observed, there is oil that is absorbed by the sand.

05:33As you can see earlier, when you step on it, the oil comes out.

05:38So definitely, it is not possible to collect the oil

05:43and it is really risky for the health and safety of the people who eat it.

05:49There were also eyewitnesses of dead fish,

05:52but it is not yet known if it is related to the oil spill.

05:56According to a resident, it seems that he also ate contaminated fish last night.

06:01That's what they said.

06:02We really tasted it.

06:05You don't feel anything now, right?

06:07I don't feel anything.

06:08Did you eat a lot?

06:10I stopped eating because I tasted it.

06:14We have received validated reports from our agriculturalist workers

06:21in their respective towns that the fish have odors.

06:25We have also seen fish traps full of fish.

06:32The fish caught by our fishermen are not easily available in the markets.

06:40The fish in the fish markets in Bataan came out safe to eat

06:44based on the sensory analysis of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.

06:49According to our ground personnel,

06:53we did not see any fish with oil spill traces.

06:59First of all, take a look.

07:03If there is no sign of oil, that's okay.

07:06You will smell it, especially the smell.

07:10If you don't smell anything like that, that's also okay.

07:13But even if it is safe to eat,

07:16even in the far part of Manila Bay, these fish have been caught.

07:19First of all, they are fish.

07:21They are the first ones to be caught.

07:23This one?

07:24Yes.

07:25340 pesos.

07:26If there is no oil spill?

07:27Yes.

07:28If there is oil spill, it's only 240 pesos.

07:29According to the Capitol,

07:30aid and food packs are being arranged for them.

07:33There is a recommendation to declare another state of calamity

07:36based on the effects of oil spill.

07:39It is estimated that 17,000 fish in Bataan

07:43are affected by the calamity.

07:45The Department of Health is also in Bataan

07:47to find out the situation there.

07:49The situation seems to be improving.

07:51We did not get any reports of illnesses related to this incident.

07:56This is what is called Ground Zero,

07:58the area that was hit by the MT Terranova.

08:00You cannot go near it

08:02because the diving operations there are ongoing.

08:06From the air,

08:07we can still see some oil shale.

08:09But there is no more oil spill

08:11in the new sea surface survey

08:13conducted by the Philippine Coast Guard

08:14on the sinking of the motor tanker.

08:16There is also no pain in the nose

08:17due to the smell of oil around it.

08:19But the sinking has not started yet

08:22with 1.4 million liters of industrial fuel

08:25due to the difficulty of resealing and recapping

08:28or sealing of the ship's valves.

08:31We will talk to the solver

08:33to check their personnel

08:35to see if they can add more divers.

08:38According to the Philippine Coast Guard,

08:40the United States Coast Guard

08:42and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of America

08:46will help in the rescue of the MTKR Terranova.

08:49It is important for the oil spill to be abated

08:51because if not, according to an expert,

08:54if that 1.5 million liters of oil

09:00comes out of our ocean,

09:04that is in Tier 3,

09:06the highest oil spill response in the Philippines.

09:10And of course, that has a huge impact

09:12on our environment,

09:14on our economy,

09:15on our livelihood,

09:16and on our health.

09:17A while ago,

09:18the DNR and TCG conducted a preventive inspection

09:21in the area of Dolomite Beach in Manila Bay.

09:24There is no confirmation yet

09:26if the oil spill reached that area.

09:29For GMA Integrated News,

09:31I am Jun Veneracion, your witness.

09:35A week after the MT Terranova sank

09:38in Lima, Bataan,

09:39another ship sank in the town of Mariveles.

09:43According to the Philippine Coast Guard,

09:44there is an oil sheen

09:45and the smell of diesel in the area.

09:48Witness, John Consulta.

09:51With the help of the Bureau of Customs and TNR Bataan,

09:55the NBI investigated the sinking of the ship

09:59MV Mirolawan in the town of Mariveles.

10:01Their main objective is to get a sample

10:04and examine the contents of the two large tanks

10:07inside the ship.

10:09Inside,

10:10they found that there was nothing left

10:12and the water continued to enter the port side

10:16or the left side of the ship.

10:18You can also see the two large tanks

10:20that are now side-by-side

10:21and the sea water is entering.

10:23We are now here in the ship MV Mirolawan

10:27and we can see the hulls.

10:29It is now side-by-side.

10:31But the main concern of the authorities

10:34is what we can see around this ship.

10:38And we can see from our observation

10:42that the black liquid

10:44that the authorities are saying

10:48is the oil that came from here

10:52in MV Mirolawan.

10:56You can see in this video

10:58what is the effect of the oil

11:00on the surface of the water.

11:02In the distance,

11:03you can also see more than 20 drums

11:05that were lowered by the people of the ship

11:07before they left it.

11:09After the authorities saw the situation,

11:11they continued to get samples

11:13from the tanks of the ship.

11:15This is the tank, sir.

11:17This is the hole.

11:18It won't reach.

11:20It won't reach, sir.

11:22You need to ask.

11:23Directly, right?

11:24Yes.

11:25Did you talk to the e-collector?

11:26Yes.

11:27So that's his call.

11:28I'll just call him

11:29because I really can't reach him.

11:30I already have a clearance

11:32with the DNR PCG.

11:33DNR PCG?

11:34Yes.

11:35I'll just call the PCG.

11:36According to the PCG,

11:37they are just giving priority

11:39to MT-Terranova

11:41because of its heavy fuel oil.

11:43The motor tanker Mirola 1

11:45contains a diesel fuel oil.

11:48Diesel fuel oil is considered

11:50to be a light type of oil

11:51which can dissipate

11:53when it is in the sea

11:55by natural weathering.

11:57Meaning,

11:58in the heat of the day,

12:00the waves.

12:01There are also people

12:02who deployed the PCG

12:03to see the situation

12:04in MV Mirola 1.
