00:00More than 8,000 fishermen affected by oil spills in Bataan
00:06will receive assistance from the government today.
00:09Let's find out more about this in Bernard Pereira's live report.
00:17You're right, Audrey. More than 800 fishermen and their families
00:22affected by oil spills will receive assistance from the government today.
00:31It's only 6 o'clock in the morning and the fishermen and their families
00:35have already lined up at Navota Sports Complex.
00:38They are affected by the oil spills in Bataan.
00:42MT Terranova, which has 1.4 million liters of industrial fuel oil,
00:47was recently hit.
00:49They will be given a priority of P5,000 each
00:53under the Presidential Assistance to Fisherfolks and Families
00:58Affected by the Oil Spill.
01:00It is expected to help the fishermen and their families
01:06who are affected by the oil spills.
01:09Under the active support of the Philippine Coast Guard in Limay, Bataan,
01:12the oil spill boom has quickly affected the area
01:16where the motor tanker was hit.
01:18This has also prevented the spread of oil in some areas
01:21that could affect the lives of some fishermen.
01:26As of now, some fishermen have already returned to catch fish.
01:32Audrey, the arrival of other fishermen and their families
01:38here at Navota Sports Complex continues.
01:40We expect the arrival of local and national officials
01:44to witness the distribution of aid.
01:48Back to you, Audrey.
01:49Thank you very much, Bernard Pereira.
