00:00The ship that was caused by the oil spill is now being investigated by the Justice Department.
00:06It could be related to the illegal shipping of oil to other ships while it was in Laot.
00:13From Manila, Darlinka was exposed.
00:17Darlin?
00:20P.I., the authorities were able to see the oil sheen in the area where the MT Terra Nova sank.
00:25But they said that they will continue to respond so that the oil spill could be reduced or stopped
00:30and the oil spill could be controlled.
00:33Meanwhile, the investigation includes the possibility and the chaos that was involved in the oil smuggling of this sinking ship.
00:42In the ground zero of the oil spill in Manila Bay, Salimay, Bataan,
00:46oil sheen or oil was seen from the oil sheen in the water where the MT Terra Nova sank.
00:51Oil booms were seen that stopped the oil spill.
00:54There were also ships of the PCG like the BRP Sindangan that were continuously spraying oil dispersant spray.
01:01Its purpose is because the oil is a bit thick, it will dissolve so that it will break and evaporate.
01:10We also use water cannon.
01:13The authorities said that the oil spill is now under control.
01:17Metal caps are being made to replace the capping bags that were first placed on the valves of the ship.
01:23It is said that it will take two weeks before the siphoning or oil spilling from the ship will start.
01:29The NBI is looking forward to the next three accidents of the MT Terra Nova,
01:35MT Jason Bradley, and MV Merola 1 in Bataan.
01:39Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia said in a radio program this morning,
01:44DOJ is looking at the angle where the MT Terra Nova sank,
01:48where there was smuggling or oil spill or oil spill.
01:52There are intelligence reports that the oil spill was caused by the oil spill system.
01:57Because that Terra Nova has a capacity of 1.4 million liters.
02:04Then the other vessel that sank was like a machine.
02:09They made a tanker but it didn't spill.
02:12In the oil spill system, the oil flows from the large vessel to the smaller vessel while it is submerged
02:18to avoid the payment of the compensation.
02:21Remulia said that the PCG is also being investigated because the movement of the vessel should be monitored.
02:26According to the PCG, they will cooperate in the investigation of other agencies.
02:31We assure everybody that the full investigation will proceed after the oil has been cleared from the site.
02:41And the assurance also is we will impose appropriate sanctions to our people
02:50if they are found after investigation to be involved in this.
02:56But for now, we are focused on our mission which is to prevent oil spill.
03:01Pia, GMA Integrated News is waiting for the statement of the owner of MT Terra Nova.
03:14And on August 5 or on Monday, the US Coast Guard will arrive to help the Philippine authorities
03:20in responding to the oil spill.
03:22That is the latest from the headquarters of the Philippine Coast Guard in Manila.
03:27Back to you, Pia.
03:28Thank you very much, Darlene Cai.
