The P33-million request of the Philippine Coast Guard for the oil spill clean up in Mindoro has been approved, the Maritime Industry Authority said on Monday.
“The P33 million is for the equipment and materials needed for the immediate containment of the oil spill,” she said. “Marina has already made coordination with the PCG and it will be released very, very soon.” “The OPMF Committee states that when 75 percent of the revolving fund has been spent, the PCG can still request for more. Ninety percent of the fund is going to be used for the oil spill, while 10 percent is for research purposes and admin concerns,” she explained.
The oil spill is projected to affect 36,000 hectares of mangrove forests, coral reefs, and seagrass beds in Mindoro, Batangas, and nearby provinces in the Visayas. As of last week, cleanup operations in various affected areas resulted in the recovery of 4,128 liters of oily water, along with tons of oil-soaked waste or debris, collected. A total of 8,300 families or 32,000 persons in Caluya, Antique, were affected, together with close to 70 fisherfolk.Aledo reported that Marina is currently conducting several investigations, including safety and administrative ones, to determine the accountability of the incident.
