THE Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) in Bulacan confirmed that the alleged oil slick found on the province's coastline did not come from the Terra Nova tanker that sank off the coast of Bataan.
Manuel Lukban Jr., head of the Bulacan PDRRMO, told The Manila Times that oil found floating in the Pamarawan area in the city of Malolos is said to have come from passing ships, including ships carrying barges of the P740-billion New Manila International Airport project located in a 2,500-hectare property in Taliptip, Bulakan, Bulacan.
RESPONSE TO OIL SPILL Gov. Daniel Fernando reports to Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. the actions taken by Bulacan, including the issuance of memorandum addressed to the concerned local chief executives in the province to prevent and mitigate the oil spill, which may affect some coastal areas in Bulacan during the Joint NDRRMC-RDRRMC3 emergency meeting at the RDC Hall, NEDA Region III, DMGC, Maimpis, city of San Fernando, Pampanga, on July 29, 2024.
