00:00The Philippine Coast Guard is now monitoring two sunken motor tankers in Bataan due to an oil spill.
00:07Tomorrow, the M.T. Terra Nova's 1-million-liter industrial fuel will be used as fuel.
00:11The reason is the fishing ban in Limay, Bataan and Bulacan.
00:15From the village of Limay, Jun Veneracion is live.
00:23Tom, the Philippine Coast Guard is monitoring only one liter of oil
00:28that is leaking from the sunken M.T. Terra Nova here in Limay, Bataan.
00:33This is after all 24 valves of the ship were sealed.
00:39But aside from that, there is another oil tanker that also sunk in the nearby town of Mariveles.
00:51From the air, like an antenna that is floating in the sea in the town of Mariveles,
00:55the M.T. Jason Bradley is the second oil tanker that sank in Bataan, next to the M.T. Terra Nova.
01:02Jason Bradley was surrounded by an oil spill boom while the two ships of the Coast Guard are being monitored.
01:08Because it was able to unload before it sank,
01:11it only had 5,500 liters of diesel to run.
01:16The effect of diesel is also not that great compared to the industrial oil according to the Coast Guard.
01:21But the diesel still needs to be removed.
01:26It will take around two weeks for the salvage operations to be completed for this second vessel.
01:34The effect of the M.T. Terra Nova is also not that great.
01:37Only a thin layer of oil was seen in the small area of Hagonoy, Bulacan and Cavite
01:42based on the latest aerial inspection of the Philippine Coast Guard.
01:46This is a portion of the oil that was brought in from Limay, Bataan
01:49where the M.T. Terra Nova sank with almost 1.5 million liters of industrial fuel oil.
01:57According to the U.P. Marine Science Institute,
02:00based on the weather and the last location of the oil slicks,
02:04there is a possibility that the oil spill went up to Bulacan
02:07from the sinking of the M.T. Terra Nova.
02:09The coastal area of Cavite may also be affected due to the movement of the wind.
02:14But for now, only one liter of oil is spilled every hour.
02:18It is already far from two gallons per minute in the first few days.
02:30According to the salvaging company,
02:32the pressure valves and high-level alarm sensor of the Terra Nova have been sealed.
02:37It is expected that the siphoning will start tomorrow.
02:42300,000 liters of oil needs to be siphoned
02:46from the sinking of the M.T. Terra Nova at a depth of 34 meters.
02:50After that, the oil will be transported to Pangpang,
02:53where the siphoning will continue.
02:55Motor tanker Helena Marie,
02:59which is the sister tanker of the M.T. Terra Nova,
03:03will also arrive today.
03:05All the IFOs that will be siphoned will be brought to the M.T. Terra Nova.
03:12Water cannons continue to fire at the oil spill
03:15while the oil dispersant spray stops,
03:18which is not effective and needs to be replaced.
03:22There are also ready-made improvised oil spill booms
03:25made from the skin of cows to siphon and block the oil.
03:30As of now, there is no monitoring of oil in the township of Bataan.
03:34The local government and other government agencies
03:39inspect the groundwater every two or three days.
03:47In sensory analysis,
03:49there is no difference between fish in the market of Bataan,
03:52but a laboratory test is still needed.
03:55Also, is there fishing in Limay?
03:58Also in Bulacan?
04:00Moreover, the Greenpeace group also filmed an oil slick.
04:04Despite the good development in monitoring in the M.T. Terra Nova,
04:08the Coast Guard and the local government
04:12will continue to monitor and be alert
04:14so that the oil will not reach the oil spill.
04:18Atom.
04:19Thank you very much, June Veneration.
