00:00One was killed in an oil tanker crash on Limay, Bataan, following a strong typhoon and a strong wind.
00:11In the early hours of the morning, the MT Terra Nova, which had 17 crews,
00:17was hit by a large wave in the area of Nasugbu, Batangas.
00:21Aside from one person who died, four others were also injured.
00:25According to the Aerial Inspection of the Philippine Coast Guard,
00:28an oil spill of 5.6 nautical miles was monitored in the eastern part of Lamau Point.
00:34The tanker was loaded with 1.4 million liters of industrial fuel oil.
00:39The PCG is already working with oil spill response organizations to stop the spread of oil.
00:47According to the owner of the ship, Portavaga Ship Management,
00:52Portavaga Ship Management was scheduled to leave on Monday, but they were stopped by the PCG on Tuesday night.
00:58The PCG has yet to issue a statement, according to the owner of the ship.
01:03Despite the widespread oil spill,
01:06the oil spill has not yet started siphoning from the sinking motor tanker on Limay, Bataan.
01:13The weather is still bad, according to the Philippine Coast Guard.
01:16As of now, only oil sheen or oil slick has been found in the sinking of the MT Terra Nova.
01:22A private salvage company is also on its way to siphon 1.4 million liters of oil.
01:30Oil spills in Metro Manila, Bulacan, and Pampanga are possible if the oil continues to leak.
01:38According to Portavaga Ship Management Inc., the owner of the sinking tanker,
01:43their crisis management team is already on duty to ensure a zero-oil spill.
01:48Their equipment is also on standby, and they have already contacted foreign companies to help.
01:55It is expected that the oil spill will start tomorrow from the sinking of the MT Terra Nova on Limay, Bataan.
02:03But the authorities have another reason for the oil spill,
02:07because another oil tanker sank on Mariveles.
02:12From 2 gallons per minute, only 1 liter of oil leaks from the sinking of the MT Terra Nova on Limay, Bataan.
02:21According to the salvaging company, the pressure valves and high-level alarm sensor of the motor tanker were damaged.
02:28It is expected that the siphoning will start tomorrow.
02:32300,000 liters of oil needs to be siphoned to reach the MT Terra Nova.
02:36After that, the oil will be pumped to Pampanga, where the siphoning will continue.
02:41The motor tanker Helena Marie, which is the sister tanker of the MT Terra Nova,
02:49will also arrive today, in which all the oil that can be siphoned by IFOs will be brought to the MT Helena Marie.
02:57The water cannons continue to pump the oil to disperse it.
03:01There are also improvised oil spill booms that are made on the skin of coconut trees to siphon and block the oil.
03:08As of now, there is no monitoring of the oil in the townships of Bataan.
03:12But the fishermen in Tanza Cavite noticed that there is oil mixed with water in the townships.
03:18Governor John Vecrimulia also confirmed that the oil reached the townships of Cavite.
03:24In Malolos, Bulacan, there is also oil in the sea.
03:27There are fishing banners in Limay, Bataan and Bulacan.
03:30Aside from Terra Nova, another motor tanker that is being monitored in Mariveles.
03:35The MT Jason Bradley was surrounded by an oil spill boom.
03:39Because it was able to discharge before it sank, it only had 5,500 liters of diesel to run.
03:47Although the industrial oil did not understand the effect of diesel,
03:50it still needs to be removed according to the Coast Guard.
03:54It will take around two weeks for the salvage operations to be completed for the second vessel.
04:01It's really amazing.
04:05Business as usual in Bulungan Fish Market.
04:08In the other side of the township, the township of Paranaque will receive the oil spill from the sinking MT Terra Nova in Limay, Bataan.
04:17The sales are still good. The sea is clear.
04:22Julius said that the oil spill of the sinking MT Terra Nova is not yet visible.
04:26If there is an oil spill, we will also be affected.
04:28According to the Philippine Coast Guard, the oil spill from the oil tanker is now under control.
04:33In the aerial inspection of the PCG in Metro Manila, Cavite, Bulacan and Pampanga,
04:38oil shins were almost not seen.
04:41But the sea in some barangays of Limay, Bataan,
04:44is not yet safe for fishing and swimming based on the water quality test of the DENR.
04:50There are fishing vans in Limay, but some are forced to go fishing just to catch something to eat.
04:57We are just holding on for a few more kilos. Sometimes for two kilos, we can buy rice.
05:01You can't buy fish.
05:03You can't buy fish.
05:05Because there are no fish.
05:07It's a waste even if you go fishing.
05:09If the oil spill here in Manila Bay does not subside,
05:13BIFAR estimates that it will have a possible effect of P351 million
05:20on 46,000 fishermen from the Central Luzon region of Region 4A
05:27and fishing communities here in NCR around Manila Bay.
05:32The oil spill in marine life in other parts of Manila Bay is not yet measured.
05:38It still has coral reef areas in the mouth, in the Corregidor and Marivelas areas.
05:45And there are also sightings that it will reach there.
05:50Diver 1, proceed to PB1.
05:54Copy. Copy. Copy.
05:55The sealing of the valves and tubes was strengthened so that there will be no problem
06:00when the siphoning or suction of 1.4 million liters of industrial oil
06:07loaded by MT Terra Nova.
06:09It is naturally more sensitive because it will open and let the oil out to siphon.
06:18It will be sucked, right?
06:20So you will move the integrity of the ship.
06:25When the sealing is finished and the timing is okay,
06:29the siphoning operations can start tomorrow.
06:34Eight places were placed in State of Calamity, Cavite,
06:38following the oil spill that was suspected to come from MT Terra Nova in Limay, Bataan.
06:52Cavite Governor John Vic Rimulia shared this video of the latest oil spills that will not be neglected.
06:59The oil spill that was suspected to come from MT Terra Nova in Limay, Bataan reached Dalampasigan in the province.
07:07In a barangay in the town of Tangza, the oil was carried in the wind.
07:11There were also dead fish in Dalampasigan, but it is not yet clear if they died in the oil spill.
07:17There needs to be a scientific basis to see if this happened because of the oil spill.
07:24We know that the fish are moving.
07:26Not only in the coastal area of Cavite, but the whole Manila Bay.
07:30A resident is worried that the fish he ate is contaminated.
07:34I stopped eating it because it has taste.
07:40Eight places in Cavite were placed in State of Calamity because of the oil spill.
07:45There are also fishing vans in several coastal towns from Bacoor to Ternate.
07:49The fish have smell.
07:51We also saw fish scales full of oil.
07:59The fish in Bataan markets are safe to eat according to the BFAR.
08:03But the market is down.
08:05First of all, it's the fish.
08:07They are the first ones who are really afraid.
08:09This is the advice of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources to the public.
08:13If you want to buy fish,
08:15First of all, look at it.
08:19If there is no sign of oil, it's okay.
08:22You will smell it, especially the smell.
08:26If you don't smell it, it's okay.
08:29The State of Calamity declaration in Bataan is also recommended.
08:33As of now, the supply of 1.4 million liters of industrial fuel from MTKR Terranova has not yet started.
08:41Because it is difficult to sell to ship valves.
08:44According to the Philippine Coast Guard, America will help to save the sinking of the motor tanker.
08:49The problem with MTKR Terranova and MTKR Jason Bradley that sank in Mariveres has not yet ended.
08:56Another ship sank in the same town.
08:59It is now abandoned.
09:01Motor tanker Mirola 1 contains diesel fuel oil.
09:05Diesel fuel oil is considered to be a light type of oil which can dissipate
09:10when it is in the sea via natural weathering.
09:14Meaning, in the heat of the day.
09:21It is time for the authorities to stop the spread of oil.
09:24Since the sinking of MTKR Jason Bradley, there is a shortage of oil in the town of Mariveres, Bataan.
09:31There are many dead fish.
09:33All of our catch have decreased.
09:37Residents are also worried.
09:40At night, it is hard for people to sleep here.
09:43There is a lot of smell.
09:45The Coast Guard issued an additional oil spill boom.
09:48And the ship is now preparing to carry out cyphering operations.
09:52Improvised oil spill boom was also sent to Bulot ng Nyog, which is located in Bukanan ng Ilog.
09:58The oil spill from the sinking of MTKR Mirola 1 has doubled in Mariveres.
10:03Oil recovery operations continue.
10:06The residents of Limay, Bataan are worried because it is possible that it will take another two weeks
10:11for the oil spill from the sinking of MTKR Terra Nova to start.
10:16The canvas that is attached to the valves of the ship needs to be replaced with steel.
10:20The metal capping is done on purpose.
10:22It takes a week.
10:24The installation is also that long.
10:26Only then can the cyphering operations start.
10:29I would like it to be a little faster.
10:31The more time that we give to our salvor,
10:35we are certain about the things that we are doing.
10:38We are not in a hurry.
10:39The better.
10:41In Cavite, residents are also noticing something that they are catching.
10:45The fish that is being caught smells like gasoline.
10:49Our lawyers are studying it.
10:52We need to file a class action lawsuit.
10:54In Bulacan, a lot of fish were caught in the oil spill.
10:59They didn't see any problem so they cooked it and ate it.
11:04Cavite residents are again under the state of calamity due to the effect of the oil spill.
11:09Cavite residents are also affected,
11:11so their governor asked them to pay more than 10 million pesos in damages every day.
11:21Ever since the sinking of MTKR Terra Nova to the five residents,
11:24the livelihood of Baby Lynn in Cavite is also slowly sinking.
11:28Her income from selling fish and fishing is almost depleted.
11:32Since the oil spill in Bataan,
11:35if you run out of fish, stop selling them.
11:39It's too expensive. It's not like before.
11:43Almost no one is buying.
11:45Cavite's local government is asking for a big help for those like her
11:50for the victims of MTKR Terra Nova and International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund.
11:56That's more than 10 million pesos every day.
11:59This is based on the estimated 350 pesos per day income of 31,000 Cavite residents
12:06who were caught by the sea.
12:08But even if they are paid, the owners of the ship will still be held accountable.
12:13We have no problem. If there is a criminal accountability, they will be held accountable.
12:18According to the investigation,
12:20if MTKR Terra Nova is involved in pollution or illegal shipping of oil by ships
12:26to avoid the payment of oil.
12:28There is a rumor that there is another ship next to it
12:31while it has been stopped in the sea of Bataan for a long time.
12:34In that way, they were stopped there and they were caught by the storm.
12:38We cannot make conclusions right now.
12:40But it's a red flag.
12:42It can be denied by the owner of MTKR Terra Nova
12:45and there is a CCTV of the ship to avoid pollution.
12:49Meanwhile, the people of the U.S. Coast Guard
12:53and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
12:56to provide technical assistance in the oil recovery operations.
13:01Bataan, which was first mentioned in the State of Calamity
13:05because of the Karina and Habagat storm,
13:07declared the State of Calamity again
13:09due to the impact of the sinking of oil tankers
13:12of MTKR Terra Nova, MTKR Jason Bradley, and MV Mirola 1.
13:1817,000 fishermen were affected by the oil spill.
13:22The payment of damages for those affected by the oil spill in Bataan was arranged.
13:27Various agencies of the government,
13:31headed by MTKR Terra Nova and its insurance provider,
13:36were involved.
13:37Salvor of MTKR Jason Bradley
13:39and headed by the International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund.
13:44As of now, there are 31,000 residents
13:49and 21,000 from Bataan
13:53who have received compensation.
13:57Reports from other LGUs affected by the oil spill are still being waited for
14:02and reports from Pinsala in the tourism sector.
14:05The NBI is still investigating the three maritime incidents in Bataan.
14:10MTKR Jason Bradley,
14:12who already had a warrant of seizure and detention back in 2022,
14:18is still being investigated by the NBI.
