00:00The combined forces of the Super Typhoon Carina and Habagat are now over.
00:08But until now, the effects are still felt.
00:12Because in Manila Bay, three ships are in a row.
00:19In this video, you will see the approaching of black smoke
00:26on the side of Rojas Boulevard in Manila Bay.
00:30Black smoke
00:34It's like the sea is covered with oil in Hagonoy, Bulacan.
00:40Black smoke
00:45The oil in the water is like a small piece of clay.
00:51It's like a small piece of clay.
00:52Yes, it's clear.
00:54Black smoke
00:55This is a tragedy in our ocean.
00:57Black smoke
01:00It's like the sea is covered with oil in Hagonoy, Bulacan.
01:08Black smoke
01:10That's why there's an oil spill in Manila Bay.
01:13The oil spill is so big that it will spread if it's not stopped immediately.
01:19Black smoke
01:24The oil spill was caused by the tanker MT-Terranova
01:30built by the Super Typhoon Carina and Habagat
01:33in the Limay Sea in Bataan on July 25.
01:38It was followed by another tanker,
01:42MT-KR Jason Bradley
01:45in Mariveles, Bataan on July 27.
01:50And the third tanker that was also affected in Mariveles
01:54was the MV Merola Uno
01:56that was suspected to be involved in oil smuggling.
02:02MT-Terranova was suspected to have 1.4 million liters of oil.
02:09MT-KR Bradley was suspected to have 5,500 liters of diesel.
02:14It was stopped this morning in Manila Bay.
02:20It's going up, it's going up.
02:28And its effect is felt,
02:30especially in the livelihood of fishermen around Manila Bay.
02:35Can you see the oil on your arm?
02:39These boats in Orion, Bataan were already filled with oil.
02:44There's oil in the bottles.
02:48It's stuck to the boat.
02:50When you eat it,
02:54there's a lot of oil.
02:56Here it is, guys, the diesel that was thrown away.
02:58These fishermen, from Limay,
03:01have almost nothing left to catch.
03:03Because their boats are covered in oil.
03:07We have a lot of boats.
03:08We're running out of diesel.
03:09We're done with this.
03:11That's why the fishermen were divided that day.
03:14We were divided into two groups.
03:16The fishermen and I cried.
03:19The fishermen who were caught by the fishermen in Cavite
03:23couldn't be helped anymore.
03:25The fishermen are full of oil.
03:33In the fear of the spread of the oil spill effect in Manila Bay,
03:38how can we help our affected countrymen?
03:42Why was it allowed for these boats to sail?
03:47It ran away.
03:48There's no sign of it.
03:50It's 100% that our fishermen in Manila Bay have no livelihood.
03:54We have nothing to do.
03:56It's really bad.
04:06The fishing sector is considered one of the most difficult sectors in our society.
04:12There are a lot of challenges that fishermen and their families face.
04:18Bad weather, climate change, overfishing,
04:22or the lack of fish to catch.
04:25And now, there's the fear of the oil spill.
04:32This Wednesday, we headed to Tanza in Cavite,
04:36one of the first affected by the oil spill.
04:40Here in Barangay Amaya 5,
04:42you can see and smell the oil.
04:45These are the first signs that the oil spill has reached this part of Cavite.
04:53This is the oil slick that came from the sinking boat.
04:59Is this oil from the sea?
05:01Yes.
05:02It was poured here.
05:03It's not clear where the oil came from.
05:06But you can see the oil here.
05:11Is this the first time this has happened?
05:13Yes, this is the first time.
05:16This is the second time.
05:18The State of Calamity has declared
05:21that because of the oil spill,
05:23what is your reaction to that?
05:25We can't do anything about it, ma'am.
05:27Maybe we won't be able to catch any fish.
05:30We won't be able to buy fish here.
05:34This past week,
05:35Barangay Amaya 5 was one of the affected
05:37by the combined forces of the Havagat and Super Typhoon Karina.
05:43The bad effect of the typhoon is double.
05:46The houses were destroyed.
05:48There was also an oil spill that reached this area.
05:55The typhoon had a double effect on you?
05:58Yes, it was double.
06:00Were many houses destroyed here?
06:02Yes, many.
06:03This house was destroyed.
06:05There's nothing left.
06:08What can you say about the sinking boat
06:11and the oil spill that could have reached you?
06:15We can't do anything about it.
06:16We need to remove it.
06:18It might affect your livelihood.
06:20Yes, it will affect our livelihood.
06:22It will be more difficult.
06:24Yes, it will be more difficult.
06:25They can smell the oil spill.
06:28This Monday,
06:29they were the first to witness the oil spill in their barangay.
06:32In the morning, we were able to see it.
06:35Because the waves were big,
06:37we were able to see the garbage.
06:39There were things that were stuck to the floor.
06:41The waves really smelled like oil.
06:43That's why the residents,
06:45the barangay residents,
06:47and the Philippine Coast Guard
06:48immediately carried out an emergency clean-up drive.
06:52We were wearing gloves.
06:54It was really sticky and black.
06:56We covered it first
06:58because it shouldn't get wet
07:00so that the oil wouldn't spill on the road.
07:03The garbage that they collected that day
07:06reached 40 bags.
07:08The garbage that they collected
07:10can't be denied that there was oil
07:14from the sinking boats.
07:16What kind of instruction does the municipality need?
07:19Do they have a bag?
07:20Yes, they have a bag
07:21so that it won't get mixed with other garbage.
07:24Because this is a different kind?
07:25It's dangerous?
07:26Yes, it's dangerous.
07:27The oil spill is heavy.
07:29The land is full of oil.
07:32The 40 kg of oil spill
07:34was caught by Narnardo and Alonso.
07:36But they weren't able to sell it.
07:40In my estimate,
07:41they lost around Php 5,000.
07:44This is the mud that I filmed
07:47when there was an earthquake.
07:49It's like asphalt when it sticks to your hands.
07:52This is where the oil fills up.
07:55Even when we got an earthquake,
07:57it was black.
07:58It was like this.
07:59That's why we lost it again in the sea.
08:03They say that their fish markets have no oil
08:06and in their estimate,
08:08it's safe to eat.
08:10But they say that almost no one is buying anymore.
08:13This fish market is near Barangay Amaya.
08:16Barangay Capipisa,
08:18still in the town of Tansa.
08:20And here,
08:22the situation of our fishermen is getting worse.
08:26We check the fishermen
08:28before they come here
08:30so that they don't smell the oil.
08:32Is it easy to see?
08:34Yes, ma'am.
08:35You can smell the fish.
08:37It's still far.
08:38It's just below the tray.
08:40You can smell it.
08:41Based on the sensory analysis
08:43that BFAR does every day,
08:45as far as the smell,
08:47the look,
08:48and the taste,
08:49our samples pass.
08:51We can say that
08:53the fish is safe to eat.
08:55As for the shellfish,
08:57it's already banned.
08:58We told them not to buy
09:00either shrimp or fish.
09:01They can have an allergic reaction,
09:04get dizzy,
09:05vomit,
09:06they can die,
09:08possibly become anemic.
09:11It's hard to breathe,
09:12and you can get a heart attack.
09:15Aris,
09:16how is life here?
09:18We used to make a lot of money.
09:20Now, we still live here.
09:22The people who eat here are afraid.
09:24Before, we used to sell
09:263.50 saps.
09:27Now, we sell 200 saps.
09:29Sometimes, we can't even sell
09:31more than 200 saps.
09:33Sometimes, we earn
09:34thousands of pesos.
09:36Now, we don't earn anything.
09:39Aris has a problem.
09:41Where will he get the money
09:43especially when his children
09:45are going back to school?
09:46We don't know if our fish
09:47will run out or not.
09:49If it doesn't run out,
09:51we don't know how we can
09:52pay for it tomorrow.
09:53Ronald has discarded
09:55the fish that can't be sold.
09:57He only makes dried fish or raw fish.
09:59These are the fish.
10:01This is the shrimp,
10:02and this is the shrimp.
10:03Before, we used to buy
10:05100 pesos per bag.
10:08Now, we only get 20 pesos
10:10because it's hard to sell outside
10:12because it's expensive to buy.
10:14So, we dry the fish
10:16and sell it in the hot sun
10:18so that we can sell more.
10:20It's expensive to sell outside.
10:22It's only 20 pesos.
10:24Before, it was 100 pesos.
10:26Before the oil spill,
10:28the people of Manila Bay
10:30lost their livelihood
10:32since 2021
10:34because of the reclamation.
10:36Now, there's a fishing bond.
10:38So, totally,
10:40our fishermen in Manila Bay
10:42lost their livelihood.
10:44Our team also investigated
10:46where the two oil tankers
10:48collided
10:50with another ship.
10:52In Mariveles,
10:54where the MTKR
10:56Jason Bradley collided,
10:58there was an oil spill
11:00in the sea itself.
11:04In Limay,
11:05where the MT Terra Nova collided,
11:07there was an oil spill in the sea itself.
11:09In Mariveles,
11:11where the MV Mirola One collided,
11:13fishermen were forced
11:15to save their catch.
11:17fishermen were forced
11:19to save their catch.
11:21The fishermen
11:23were afraid
11:25to buy fish
11:27because of the news.
11:29But the truth is,
11:31we haven't experienced anything here in Limay.
11:33So, they held a boodle fight
11:35to prove
11:37that their fish
11:39and other seafood are still safe.
11:49But it seems like
11:51it's not happening anymore
11:53for the fishermen
11:55from Orion.
12:03We saw
12:05a small black thing
12:07in the sea.
12:09A fisherman held it
12:11and it splashed into his hand.
12:13It's so small.
12:15It's so small.
12:17If you eat it,
12:19you'll die.
12:21That's why the drying
12:23of the Alubaybay fish
12:25that most of the fishermen
12:27are looking for
12:29is very dangerous.
12:31It smells fishy.
12:33I don't eat it anymore.
12:35Sometimes, I eat it.
12:37I'm afraid of the fish.
12:39We don't earn much.
12:41This is an addition
12:43to Warren's problem.
12:45He died on Tuesday.
12:47It's hard to spend
12:49on our daily expenses.
12:51Especially the fish.
12:53But it's doable.
13:01This morning,
13:03when the residents of Warren
13:05were recovered from the sea,
13:07they found
13:09two drums of fish
13:11that were missing.
13:25Some oil spills
13:27also happened
13:29in the sea.
13:31But only now,
13:33all three ships
13:35were caught.
13:37Two of them
13:39had a lot of oil and diesel.
13:41What's the record
13:43of the Philippines
13:45when it comes to responding
13:47to these incidents?
13:49We can go back to Gimaras.
13:51It took more than three years
13:53to clear Gimaras.
13:55In this incident,
13:57the oil spillage
13:59was widespread.
14:01We don't know how long
14:03it will last.
14:05Contamination is different.
14:07It's a direct contact
14:09with the oil.
14:11It can stick to the scales of the fish
14:13or it can drown the water
14:15that has oil.
14:17It's detrimental to the health of the fish,
14:19especially the filter feeders
14:21such as tahong and talaba.
14:23According to Commander Gavan
14:25it will take another two weeks
14:27for them to siphon
14:29more than one million liters
14:31of oil from Terra Nova.
14:33Our effort now
14:35is to replace it with steel
14:37to make it more durable.
14:39The siphoning will happen
14:41not later than 14 days from now.
14:43Are there any booms?
14:45We have a boom.
14:47We have an oil skimmer
14:49that collects oil from the sea.
14:51We also have oil dispersants.
14:53The bay is now clean.
14:55You can't see any oil sheen
14:57except for a few
14:59landfalls. The first ones
15:01were very minimal.
15:03Our people, in coordination with
15:05the local government units
15:07and the community, conduct coastal cleanup.
15:09Oil like diesel
15:11and gasoline
15:13is a non-persistent oil.
15:15It will break down
15:17immediately.
15:19It's easier to clean.
15:21Heavy oil
15:23like bunker oil
15:25or crude oil will last longer.
15:27As of now,
15:29the threat of
15:31a large oil spill
15:33is under control.
15:35The Coast Guard
15:37and other government agencies
15:39are also in control of the situation.
15:41Now, the question is
15:43who should be responsible
15:45for what happened?
15:47Is there anyone?
15:49Our call is that
15:51there should be
15:53an immediate investigation
15:55on this issue.
15:57Some parties
15:59involved in the
16:01oil spill in Mindoro
16:03are also involved
16:05in the charter
16:07of MV Terranova.
16:09It's a subsidiary
16:11of San Miguel Corporation.
16:13The charter
16:15of MV Terranova.
16:17In the last investigation,
16:19they were not
16:21given accountability.
16:23The question is,
16:25Commandant, why was it allowed
16:27for these ships to sail?
16:29We know that
16:31when the force joined,
16:33the Havagat and the Super Typhoon
16:35just now.
16:37The Coast Guard is strict
16:39with ferry passengers.
16:41But why were these ships allowed to sail?
16:43The motor tanker Terranova
16:45was one of the 5 ships
16:47that came. At the time
16:49when it left on July 23,
16:51there was no typhoon warning.
16:53So,
16:55it was allowed to sail.
16:57The other two,
16:59the motor tanker Jason Bradley,
17:01they escaped.
17:03It's up to them.
17:05The motor vessel
17:07Mirola Uno
17:09also escaped.
17:11There was no PCG clearance.
17:13At this time,
17:15our focus is on the oil spill response.
17:17So, it's up to them
17:19to solve this problem.
17:21Yes, because the damage is irreversible
17:23if we make a mistake here.
17:25After this, the investigation
17:27and enforcement will be carried out.
17:43Our fishermen
17:45have a hard time
17:47surviving
17:49because of the oil spill.
17:59I hope that this problem
18:01won't spread
18:03to our seas
18:05so that our countrymen
18:07can live here
18:09without
18:11being
18:13drowned.
