The Philippine Coast Guard on Saturday described the oil spill from the sunken motor tanker Terra Nova off Bataan as 'manageable' so far."Magkakatalo sa amount ng oil na tumagas, minimal pa naman siya, manageable. Hopefully magstay na ganun lang hanggang sa makapagsimula ng siphoning tomorrow," PCG spokesperson Rear Admiral Armand Balilo told reporters in a press conference. Balilo also clarified that the tank is intact and the situation is not yet alarming.
The MT Terra Nova departed Bataan for Iloilo when it capsized 3.6 nautical miles east off Limay town around 1:10 a.m. Thursday. One person died because of the incident. Earlier, Environment Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga warned that the oil spill caused by the sunken MT Terra Nova in Bataan might affect Bulacan, Cavite, and Pampanga.
