Department of National Defense Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. said he informed President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Tuesday that Washington will help in cleaning up the oil spill in Oriental Mindoro.
The DND chief said he had also recommended the inclusion of the clean-up activity in the forthcoming Balikatan drills next month. CCC Commissioner Albert Dela Cruz gave the warning during his meeting with the Philippine Coast Guard last Monday to discuss ongoing efforts to contain the oil spill. Cruz noted the oil spill and the chemical dispersants can be more devastating if it reaches the Verde Island Passage area located northwest of Calapan and Naujan, which is a breeding ground of a number of marine species.
Calapan City mayor Malou Morillo said residents and the local government are using improvised spill booms made from rice straws, ropes, empty plastic bottles and sacks to protect the city’s waters from the oil spill.
