00:00The Philippine Coast Guard has already placed a siphoning equipment
00:03that will be used to suck up the oil from the sinking MT Terra Nova.
00:08Meanwhile, the oil spill boom has spread.
00:11The PCG to avoid the spread of oil from another ship
00:16that sank in Mariveles, Bataan.
00:19This is the story of Ryan Leziguez.
00:23The Philippine Coast Guard or PCG is positive
00:26that the oil spill will not spread after the MT Terra Nova sank in 5 Bataan
00:32that contains more than 1 million liters of industrial oil.
00:35According to the PCG,
00:3750 drums of oil per day was sucked from the ship.
00:41This is only 1 liter per hour.
00:44Yes, according to our ITOC expert,
00:47that is considered to be,
00:49that cannot be affected in our marine environment.
00:52So this is a big development
00:54for us, particularly for our responders in the area.
00:59And then, actually,
01:01the diving operation is still ongoing
01:02so that all 24 valves can be closed.
01:07The target of the PCG is to close 24 valves today
01:12so that the siphoning can start immediately.
01:15The target of the PCG is to suck up 50,000 liters per day
01:19so that 300,000 liters of oil can be extracted from the ship within a week
01:25so that it can be lifted.
01:26From 10 to 14 kilometers,
01:28which is only four miles,
01:29the oil spill can be seen from the MT Terra Nova.
01:33But the PCG is not ignoring the fact that the oil was sucked from other parts of the ocean
01:38so that it became thinner in the part where the ship sank.
01:42The PCG stopped the dispersant spraying
01:45because it is not effective.
01:47The PCG will now use an improvised oil spill boom
01:51to contain the oil spill.
01:54Before, cash assistance was prepared
01:57for fishermen in Bataan, Bulacan, and Pampanga.
02:02In the worst-case scenario,
02:04it can reach up to 11 million fishermen
02:07affected in Bataan.
02:09And up to 83 million pesos
02:11will be lost every day.
02:13In Bulacan,
02:15it can reach up to 8,000 fishermen affected by the oil spill
02:19and up to 63 million pesos will be lost.
02:23While in Pampanga,
02:24it can reach up to 7.6 million pesos
02:27that can be lost every day
02:29due to the effect of the oil spill.
02:31The local government of Bataan is studying
02:34if the fishing ban will be extended
02:36due to the risk of injury.
02:39Although before mentioned that
02:42it is negative based on sensory inspection,
02:47evaluation,
02:49maybe we will discuss together with the mayors
02:52the suggestion of Governor Dolor
02:55that 4 kilometers away from the sheen
02:59is needed as a better precautionary measure
03:02to declare a fishing ban.
03:04There is a large presence of oil
03:08in the space of a couple of miles.
03:10Now, it has moved.
03:12That's what's up there.
03:14But what do you find down there?
03:16That's what's moving around.
03:19That's why I said that the reporting should be done
03:21if you're not waiting for the result
03:23of the technical report.
03:25Now, in the mere experience that there's presence of oil
03:28several days, that will affect.
03:29Meanwhile, the oil spill boomed
03:32in the second motor tanker
03:34that sank in Mariveles, Bataan.
03:36The PCG is already conducting
03:38the initial underwater assessment
03:40of the second tanker, Jason Bradley.
03:42The salvage operation is being prepared
03:44in the near future.
03:46Earlier, DILG Secretary Benjamin Abalos
03:48led the joint NDRRMC
03:50and RDRRMC meeting
03:52with BIFAR, DOH,
03:54PCG, and LGUs
03:56to lay out the steps
03:58in the sinking
04:00of two ships in Bataan.
04:02Where did the oil sheen and oil slick go?
04:06It's important that everything is prepared.
04:08So, the compass should be one.
04:10It can't be separated.
04:12So, that's the agreement now.
