Oil spill hits Cavite coastal villages

TANZA, Cavite — The oil spill from the sunken oil tanker in Bataan has already reached the shorelines of Tanza, Naic, Maragondon and Ternate in Cavite, a group of fishermen said Monday.

Fishermen and coastal residents in this coastal town could smell the distinctive odor of the fuel oil that seeped out of the MT Terra Nova.

A handout photo made available by Greenpeace shows an aerial view taken with a drone of a thick layer of oil across the water’s surface approximately four kilometers from the coastline of Hagonoy, Bulacan province, Philippines, 28 July 2024. The oil spill from capsized tanker MT Terranova, which was carrying 1.4 million liters of oil is now affecting the municipal waters of several areas, including Bulacan, Cavite, and Bataan. Greenpeace is calling on President ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Junior to make oil and gas companies pay for polluting waters and fueling the climate crisis.
