00:20from a sunken ship in the area of Limay, Bataan, MTKR Terranova.

00:36The Philippine Coast Guard and salvor companies are in a hurry to resolve the leaks of oil from a sunken ship in MTKR Terranova.
00:43Yesterday, Audrey, four people from the Philippine Coast Guard were diving for an underwater inspection.
00:49The dive began from the first container of the tank, which is 175,000 liters, on August 14,
00:58after the installation of a flange valve plate and a hot-tapping operation on the tanker.
01:03The oil spill boom was sprayed again by the dispersant PCG on the first layer
01:08to remove the oil sheen, which is 400 meters from ground zero.
01:12MTKR Jason Bradley is part of the sunken ship.
01:16In order to avoid oil leakage, the MTAG Challenger repositioned the oil spill boom.
01:21On the MV Merola 1, an on-site operation was carried out to see the situation of the sunken ship.
01:29Meanwhile, Audrey, the priority now is the DOTR, the modernization of the area,
01:34and the marine assets of the PCG to protect the West Philippine Sea
01:40and to avoid oil spill incidents in the country's marine environment.
01:46According to Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista,
01:49the PCG needs to assess their existing resources to measure their capability
01:56and strategize to implement their mandates.
01:59Bautista-Audrey also gave that their emergency plans should be activated automatically and quickly
02:06to avoid any maritime disaster.
02:10Meanwhile, Audrey, during this time, let's take a look at the situation.
02:13There is a traffic jam on the part of Quezon City Circle,
02:16and on the part of Commonwealth Avenue.
02:20Audrey, as you can see on your screens, the situation here is almost bumper to bumper.
02:27On the other lane, Audrey, the traffic jam is really heavy.
02:32That's why it is expected that the traffic jam will slow down during this time.
02:40That's why we remind our countrymen to leave their homes.
02:44And the current situation is that it is time to apologize.
02:49Audrey.
02:50Thank you very much, Ryan Leziguez.
