The number of ships being guarded in Bataan is increasing due to the oil spill.
00:06
This is the abandoned ship MV Mirola 1 that sank and part of it was submerged.
00:15
And in the face of these problems, the situation of the affected villages continues to be threatened.
00:22
From Bataan, let's take a look at the center of the news, Ryan Lasigas Live.
00:30
Aljo, although three ships are being monitored by the Philippine Coast Guard, two of them sank while the other one was submerged.
00:42
The Philippine Coast Guard said that they are still prioritizing the MTKR Terra Nova because of its almost 1.5 million tons of industrial fuel.
00:56
Although the capping and sealing of the valves of the motor tanker is still ongoing, Aljo,
01:03
in the latest update from the Philippine Coast Guard, the oil spill could start within two weeks
01:11
because they are asking Aljo to change the metal capping or the caps of the valves
01:18
so that there won't be a disaster at the time of the oil spill.
01:27
Concepcion's job is to fish every day.
01:31
He earns his living here if he doesn't go fishing.
01:35
He buys other necessities for his house.
01:39
But after the sinking of the MTKR Terra Nova, he stopped fishing.
01:46
Aside from his poor sales, he can't even afford to sell his fish.
01:52
Of course, because we are affected, we don't have...
01:55
For example, we force people to go fishing.
01:58
If someone is affected, for example, there's a chance of getting sick,
02:03
you are the one who goes fishing.
02:05
If you sell fish, you won't be able to buy it.
02:09
The Department of Health is warning residents in Bataan and other affected areas
02:14
because of the possible effects of the oil spill.
02:17
During DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergere's visit in Limay,
02:22
she said that even though the situation is getting better,
02:25
the public should still remain alert.
02:28
This is because the oil still hasn't been sucked out from the sinking MTKR Terra Nova.
02:33
Vergere said that DOH officials are now going to affected areas
02:39
to make an orientation on what to do when the situation worsens.
02:44
They are also continuously doing water testing in the groundwater.
02:49
The aim is to make sure that the drinking water of areas near Ground Zero is safe.
02:55
As I said, the situation is improving.
02:58
We are not getting any reports of illnesses related to this incident.
03:03
But people should also watch out for the possible impacts.
03:06
Yes, that's what we are saying.
03:08
That's why our Bataan General Hospital together with the regional office
03:12
will go around the community to spread the right information.
03:16
No oil spill was found in the sea of Limay-Bataan.
03:20
Next, a sea surface survey was conducted due to the sinking of MTKR Terra Nova.
03:26
But there was a small oil spill from Ground Zero.
03:29
According to the PCG, they will talk to SALVOR
03:33
to add a diver so that the motor tanker's valve can be sealed immediately.
03:39
The PCG of SALVOR is already looking for a salvage
03:43
in another ship that sank in the Mariveles area, the MV Merola 1.
03:48
But if the MTKR Terra Nova and MT Jason Bradley
03:52
were immediately affected by the oil spill boom,
03:55
this is clear from the MV Merola 1.
03:57
It will not be easy to put an oil spill boom because of the location of the ship.
04:03
Sir, in the MT Merola 1, we are now conducting the aerial survey.
04:08
We flew a drone near it.
04:11
The location is very challenging.
04:14
The mere fact that it is near the open sea,
04:17
so the current is strong.
04:19
We are endeavoring to put an oil spill boom as a mitigating measure.
04:24
It is not advisable because its location is low.
04:28
The boom will just be destroyed.
04:30
The oil spill will just come out.
04:32
The PCG has not yet determined how many liters of diesel the ship contains.
04:37
The PCG is already conducting an aerial survey
04:40
in the area where the ship sank.
04:46
Aljo, let's first update on the MV Merola 1.
04:49
As of now, the Philippine Coast Guard is manually removing the oil spill
04:57
that is inside the ship.
04:59
They will bring it to a disposal facility
05:02
so that an oil spill will not occur
05:05
and the safety of the public in Mariveles, Bataan.
05:11
As for the MT Jason Bradley,
05:14
it is already ready to siphon its working fuel,
05:18
which is at 5,500 liters.
05:20
But until now, it has not started yet.
05:24
Here at MTKR Terra Nova of Aljo,
05:29
as of yesterday evening,
05:31
there are already 20 valves that are sealed by the Philippine Coast Guard and SALVOR.
05:37
Only four are left.
05:40
They will reseal them before the oil spill starts.
05:46
Aljo.
05:47
Ryan, where are you in Bataan?
05:53
As of now, Aljo, we are here at Limay, Bataan.
05:56
From here in the port area,
06:00
the MTKR Terra Nova sank only 7 kilometers.
06:07
This is the same boat that we went to yesterday.
06:12
Aljo.
06:13
There is a fishing van there in Limay, right?
06:16
Do you smell something fishy?
06:19
Yes.
06:20
The oil spill was brought there.
06:24
Where was it built?
06:26
In this port?
06:31
Well, Aljo, in your first question regarding the fishing van,
06:34
the Philippine Coast Guard said that the local government of Limay implemented a fishing van
06:39
because of the risk of sinking of this motor tanker.
06:45
As for the question, Aljo, if we smell something fishy,
06:48
here in our area, there are no signs of oil spill.
06:54
There are no traces of oil spill.
06:56
There is no fishy smell.
06:58
Yesterday, we went to the ground zero area of the Philippine Coast Guard.
07:03
We reached 300 meters away from where the boat sank.
07:08
There are no signs of oil spill outside.
07:12
But inside, where it was contained by the oil spill boom of the Philippine Coast Guard,
07:19
we saw oil sheen.
07:21
But it was already contained.
07:22
And that is what the Philippine Coast Guard said, Aljo,
07:25
that because there is only one liter of oil spill per hour in the sinking motor tanker,
07:32
that is why they already controlled the situation.
07:35
But even so, they are being careful.
07:38
They are making sure that there will be no disgrace in the time that the oil siphon has already started.
07:46
Aljo.
07:47
Alright. Thank you very much, Ryan Lasigas.
