Inirereklamo na sa Mariveles, Bataan ang masangsang na amoy ng langis mula ikalawang motor tanker na lumubog doon. Sa Bulacan naman, nanghuli at kumain ng isda ang ilang tauhan ng BFAR, para patunayang ligtas ang mga huli roon. Mula sa ground zero ng problema sa Bataan, nakatutok live si Jun Veneracion.

00:00Mariveles Bataan is now complaining of the smelly smell of oil from the second motor tanker that sank there.

00:07In Bulacan, a few years ago, the fishermen caught and ate fish to prove that the fishermen there are safe.

00:13From the ground zero of the problem in Bataan, tuned live, Jun Madarasyon. Jun.

00:21Emil, the start of the siphoning or the injection of a million liters of industrial fuel that sank a tanker here in Limay, Bataan,

00:34in the nearby town of Mariveles, is causing an oil spill due to another oil tanker that also sank near Dalampasigan.

00:45This coastal barangay in Mariveles, Bataan, may have an oil spill.

00:53Not far from here, the MTKR Jason Bradley, which has 5,500 liters of diesel as operational fuel, sank.

01:02Residents are suffering from the problem of the oil tanker that sank.

01:06At night, it's hard for people to sleep here because of the smell.

01:12When the water level rises, it increases for us.

01:15When the water level rises here, the diesel increases.

01:18Residents noticed the increase in the number of dead fish.

01:22But the real effect is that their livelihoods were affected.

01:27It's because of the oil spill.

01:29When we came here, the oil level went down.

01:31We were shocked. We didn't expect that because we didn't have anything to buy.

01:37The Coast Guard placed an additional oil spill boom in the area where the MTKR Jason Bradley sank

01:42while the ship was preparing to carry out the siphoning operations.

01:46The barangay residents were brought improvised oil spill booms made from coconut husks

01:52that they placed in the mouth of the river.

01:54It's just to remove the oil spill that will come from there,

01:58to prevent the oil spill that will come from the side.

02:03In the town of Mariveles, the Coast Guard's oil recovery operations in Sumagsad, MV Mirolawan,

02:10will be carried out manually.

02:12The oil will be collected in the waste disposal facility.

02:14But according to the PCG, the most serious threat now is the 1.4 billion liters of industrial fuel

02:21that was loaded by the MTKR Terra Nova that sank in the town of Limay.

02:26The problem is, it's possible for two more weeks before the oil spill starts.

02:30The canvas that was covered by the valves of the ship needs to be replaced with steel.

02:35The metal capping is done on purpose.

02:37It takes a week.

02:39It also takes a long time to install.

02:41Only then can the siphoning operations start.

02:46The more time that we give to our salvor, we are certain about the things that we are doing.

02:52We are not in a hurry.

02:54The better it is.

02:55Number one item, why?

02:57Because we have contained the oil slick that flows.

03:01This is one liter per hour.

03:04At the same time, if we are in a hurry in this operation,

03:10the whole Metro Manila, perhaps part of the whole Region 4A and Region 3 will be affected.

03:19This will have a massive effect on Manila Bay if we are in a hurry.

03:24The Bataan Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office

03:28is saying that the operation is slowing down.

03:31I would like it to be a little faster.

03:34As time goes by, the effects of it not just on the environment is also increasing,

03:41plus the effects of it on our constituents or our residents here in Bataan.

03:48In Bulacan, the BIFAR carried out a sensory evaluation in the sea.

03:52Next, the oil spill reached the area.

03:55They were caught by the police and the police station.

03:58And there was no observable problem.

04:00It was cooked and it was evaluated by BIFAR.

04:03As of now, in the last satellite image of the Philippine Space Agency,

04:07the oil spill area was smaller that day compared to the satellite image last Sunday.

04:18As of now, the oil is still leaking from the MTKR Terra Nova at one liter per hour.

04:25But after replacing the metal capping on the canvas

04:29that was covered by the ship's valves,

04:32the leak will disappear and the oil recovery operation will be safer and safer.

04:39Emil.

04:40Thank you very much, Jun Veneracion.
