00:00The Philippine Coast Guard is positive that the oil spill from the sinking oil tanker in Limay, Bataan, will not reach Metro Manila.
00:11Aside from that, the Coast Guard cannot see that the situation is getting worse.
00:17Ryan Lasigue, for Serno ng Balita, live.
00:23You're right, Aljo.
00:24According to the Philippine Coast Guard, the oil spill from the sinking oil tanker in Limay, Bataan, is only one liter per hour.
00:36That's far, Aljo.
00:37The oil spill is two gallons per minute.
00:40It's been recorded in the past few days.
00:42Any time today, Aljo, it's possible that the siphoning will start from the inside of the oil tanker.
00:49Meanwhile, the BIFAR has been stopped due to the effect of the sinking of the oil tanker.
00:59The oil spill will reach Metro Manila from the sinking MT Terra Nova in Limay, Bataan.
01:05This is based on the Oil Spill Trajectory Model Forecast of the University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute.
01:12According to their trajectory, the oil spill will reach the NCR by July 30.
01:17But according to the Philippine Coast Guard, they cannot see that it will reach here.
01:21They also cannot see that the situation is getting worse due to the oil spill.
01:27As of now, only one liter of oil is leaking from the ship.
01:31It's far from the two gallons per minute.
01:34This is the result, Aljo, after the pressure valves and high-level alarm sensor of the MV Terra Nova were cellulated.
01:41But according to the PCG, the oil spill was also seen in Hagonoy and Cavite.
01:46They immediately clarified that a thin layer of oil or sheen was seen in the mentioned areas.
01:52According to the aerial inspection of the PCG,
01:55that is the part of the flooded oil from Limay, Bataan where the MV or MT Terra Nova sank.
02:02But according to others, that's different, Aljo, from the picture shown by the exploration group in Tanza, Cavite.
02:09In the picture, you can see a wide ocean with a mix of oil that looks like black.
02:14In their post on X or the former Twitter,
02:17they said that the residents in Tanza, Rizal woke up smelling the distinctive odor of the oil spill.
02:27The ship has a load of almost one and a half million liters of industrial fuel.
02:32300,000 liters is needed to re-load the ship from the 34-meter depth.
02:41Well, Terra Nova contains IFO.
02:44So, it's a heavy oil that we're trying to avoid spilling.
02:49And the good thing about our situation in Terra Nova is that it's only 34 meters deep compared to Oriental Mindoro
02:57that Governor Dolor mentioned earlier, 400 meters.
03:01We are not capable of conducting a diving operation or verify the situation.
03:07Aljo, BIFAR confirmed that they are aware of the situation.
03:11BIFAR also confirmed that oil shale was reported in Tanza, Naik, Noveleta, and Rosario.
03:17The mandate of BIFAR is to continue the assessment and evaluation
03:22regarding the safety of fish consumption in affected areas.
03:35Aljo, at the time of the incident, 46,000 fish were affected from Region 4A, Region 3, and NCR.
03:44351 million pesos may have been lost from their income.
03:53If there are damaged vessels that are affecting the life of the fish,
03:58BIFAR is ready to provide support to our fishermen so that they can recover.
04:04For now, Aljo is using the Philippine Coast Guard's Improvised Oil Spill Boom from Balat, New York.
04:10Aljo, at this time, the Philippine Coast Guard is conducting an aerial inspection
04:16in areas that are reported to have oil shale,
04:19including the area of Bulacan and Cavite.
04:22The Department of Health is getting samples from the wells,
04:28from Limay, Bataan, and other parts of Bataan
04:31to ensure the safety of the residents, especially from their drinking water.
04:37Aljo.
04:38Thank you very much.
