00:00Government agencies were alerted by listening to the Senate yesterday regarding the subsequent sinking of a ship in Bataan, Kamakailan.
00:07It was found out that two of the ships were not permitted.
00:10Here is the first news from Dano Tingcunco.
00:17In the oil spill that happened after the subsequent sinking of three oil tankers in Bataan,
00:21there is nothing else that the government should blame but the government.
00:25I'm trying to picture this as a government-made, state-made, state-induced calamity.
00:33It's not that the calamity is too much, like what our chairperson said.
00:41There is no permit, it will come out later, there is no permit for the number of ships.
00:45The Senate's investigation into what happened in the sinking of MT Terra Nova, MT Jason Bradley, and MV Merola One
00:54when the Habagat and Baguiyong Karina collided this July.
00:58All three ships left the oil spill in Bataan, reached Manila Bay, and were affected in Bataan, Bulacan, Metro Manila, and Cavite.
01:06But there is no show in listening to the owners of MT Jason Bradley and MV Merola One.
01:11In view of the absence of Mr. Romenic Bonesta, shipowner of MTKR Jason Bradley,
01:18and Ms. Mary Jane Ubaldo, shipowner of MV Merola One, despite being notified of today's hearing,
01:26I move that the subpoena be issued to the aforementioned persons.
01:30Marina said that there are no safety documents on MT Jason Bradley and MV Merola One.
01:36According to the PCG, Merola One did not pass the PCG before it was approved by the voters.
01:42MV Merola One departed Navotas without passing through the Coast Guard station.
01:53It escaped and it was in tow.
01:57It ran aground on 23 July.
02:01So ma'am, it did not pass the Coast Guard.
02:04It came from Navotas on time.
02:07What date?
02:10It is subject for investigation.
02:12Jason Bradley, it ran aground while it was anchored.
02:18It did not pass the Coast Guard. It was anchored.
02:22It ran aground when the weather was bad.
02:25Senators are asking, how did the ships and government agencies know if they lack permits to sail?
02:33Marina explained that their digitalization started on July 1.
02:38After our registration, we don't have any means to check whether after registration, are they operating.
02:45Ma'am, can you be notified?
02:50Well, we don't have that information sir because we don't have that tool.
02:55We don't have that tool to monitor.
02:57So ma'am, it means you can be notified?
03:01In a way, because we cannot monitor.
03:04M.T. Terranova's operator complained.
03:07He explained that aside from the complete permits and licenses,
03:11the ships were also allowed to sail from the PCG.
03:14There was also no signal of a storm when they left.
03:17Is that also the reason why you ventured?
03:21You were there for how many days?
03:24Yes, because after a few hours of voyage, the weather suddenly changed and it encountered…
03:31You should have returned to the port.
03:33That was the intention until we encountered engine trouble.
03:38According to Terranova's lawyer, aside from the insurance,
03:41the Civil Liabilities Convention also answered where the Philippines is signatory,
03:46the compensations to the affected.
03:48Aside from cleaning and stopping the spread of the storm,
03:51the claim centers also plan to set up so that the affected can claim compensation more easily.
03:58But they cannot do this if LGUs like Cavite will continue their plan to eat the class suit.
04:05If there's a class suit, we cannot set up a claim center because there will be a fight.
04:11But if there's a claim center, everything will be explained to the fishermen.
04:16This is the first news.
