The major oil spill in Oriental Mindoro is still under Tier 2 response and does not yet require foreign assistance, according to the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG).
"Kapag more than one million na ang volume ng oil na involved sa spill ay i-elevate po natin sa Tier III," PCG Commandant Admiral Artemio Abu told a briefing on Saturday."And this is one is less than one million, so right now nasa Tier II pa po tayo, so coast guard pa po ang nag-o-oversee ng operations ng oil spill response operations ng government."
According to the National Oil Spill Contingency Plan, Tier I response is used for oil spills that could be dealt with by the spiller, while Tier II means the spillage is"larger in magnitude" that would need additional resources. Tier III is considered a national-level response and may call for assistance from the international community.The PCG, however, confirmed that it has already officially sent a letter to the United States asking for help in terms of equipment.
[Translation: The letter was generic, asking what assistance they can provide, and to what extent they can help.]
