00:00Not just one, but two ships have already sunk in the ocean of Bataan.

00:08The most recent one was the one that passed through Mariveles.

00:11When the Philippine Coast Guard confirmed it,

00:13they were able to stop it, especially when an oil leak was detected in the first sunken ship.

00:19This is Ryan Lezigue at the center of the news, Ryan.

00:22Ryan.

00:24Naomi, the Philippine Coast Guard will forcefully stop the stealing of the sunken MV Terranova from Lima-Bataan.

00:32This is so that it can return to its industrial fuel.

00:36In the joint press conference of NDRRMC and RDRRMC,

00:40Governor Jose Enrique Sandejas Garcia III said that

00:44only 14 of the 24 valves were closed.

00:48Garcia said that their target is to siphon 50,000 liters per day.

00:53This is so that they can immediately get 300,000 liters of oil from the ship so that it can be lifted.

01:00According to the Philippine Coast Guard,

01:02up to 50 drums of oil leak every day from the ship.

01:07From 10 to 14 kilometers, only 3 kilometers,

01:11the oil spill can be seen from the MV Terranova.

01:14But the PCG is not ignoring the fact that the oil was seen in other parts of the ocean,

01:19which is why it became thinner in the area where the ship sank.

01:23The oil spill is heading north-northeast.

01:26The PCG stopped the spraying of dispersant because it is not effective.

01:32The PCG will use an improvised oil spill boom to contain the oil spill.

01:39The cash assistance will be distributed to affected fishermen in Batahan, Bulacan and Pampanga.

01:45In the worst-case scenario, up to 11,000 fishermen can be affected in Batahan,

01:51where up to P83 million will be lost every day.

01:55In Bulacan, up to 8,000 fishermen can be affected by the oil spill

02:00and up to P63 million will be lost.

02:05While in Pampanga, up to P7.6 million can be lost every day due to the effect of the oil spill.

02:12Meanwhile, the oil spill boom has hit the second motor tanker that sank in Maribeles, Bataan.

02:18The PCG is already conducting the initial underwater assessment on the motor tanker Jason Bradley.

02:24The salvage operation is being prepared as soon as possible.

02:29Ryan, was it mentioned until when the cleaning will be completed?

02:34Well, the target of the Philippine Coast Guard is to get the crude oil or the oil loaded by MV Terranova

02:43within seven days.

02:45After this, they will try to raise the ship to completely siphon all of its industrial oil.

02:54Just one question. Is there an effect on the cleaning, the weather or the bad weather?

03:01Well, that's one of the effects.

03:04It's not easy for the divers to dive under the sea to seal the valves of the ship that sank

03:13because the waves are strong due to the weather.

03:17But they are looking at whether they can finish it today.

03:19Their target is to finish it within this day so that the oil spill can start tomorrow.

03:25Thank you very much Ryan Lasigas.
