00:00It is expected that the flow of oil from the MTKR Ternova in Bataan will be accelerated.
00:07It is time for the additional pump that will be used from Singapore to arrive.
00:12The PCG is studying the case of Isasamba against the owner of Merola 1 in Maribeles.
00:19Ryan Nasig is in the center of the news.
00:22More than 2,000 liters of oil has arrived from the sinking MTKR Ternova.
00:30The Philippine Coast Guard said that they are still in the testing stage of siphoning oil up to 800 liters per hour.
00:40But it is expected that the siphoning of 1.4 million liters of industrial fuel will be accelerated.
00:46The tanker was charged at the time that the additional pump that will be used from Singapore arrived.
00:52It is also said that the hot topping is being done continuously in the remaining four out of eight cargo oil tanks of the MTKR Ternova.
01:00Out of the four hot topped COTs or our cargo oil tanks, we did no observe leak.
01:11Our containment capabilities from Harbor Star and Malayan Towage and our Philippine Coast Guard vessels are still in operation.
01:23MTKR Jason Bradley is also preparing the engine room of the tanker to be used as a water tank door that will serve its natural buoyancy.
01:33The Mirola 1 is also continuously conducting diving operations to examine the hull integrity of the vessel.
01:40It was discovered that three holes in the vessel were found.
01:44The PCG that they are studying confirmed that the possible case of the owner of the Mirola 1,
01:51which until now, has not been identified by the authorities.
01:55We are now issuing an inspection and enforcement apprehension of the Mirola 1, which is located in the coast of the Philippine coast.
02:04We will conduct further inspections to find out what other violations and administrative cases we can file.
02:14It was also said that there is a ready-made help for the affected families.
02:17The President has created a team or a task force for this oil spill, where the agencies responsible for helping the affected families
02:29can provide immediate assistance. The DSWD is there.
02:34What our agencies need is the report of the LGU and our families can say if they are affected.
02:44Meanwhile, the priority of the DOTR is the modernization of the PCG's aerial and marine assets to protect the West Philippine Sea
02:52and to avoid oil spill incidents that damage the country's marine environment.
02:58According to Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, the PCG needs to assess their existing resources
03:05to measure their capability and strategize to implement their mandate.
03:11Bautista also said that their emergency plans should be activated automatically and quickly to avoid any maritime disaster.
