President Benigno S. Aquino III wants a speedy clean-up of the Manila Bay oil spill affecting coastal villages in 3 towns in Cavite, deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said on Saturday, August 10. This as the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), local government officials and representatives of private corporations met on Friday to coordinate the clean-up operations. Valte said all efforts would focus on containing the 500,000 liters of diesel oil leaked into Manila Bay before finding who is accountable for the spill. The PCG agreed to form an adjudication team to handle the investigation on who is responsible for the spill. Cavite Governor Juanito Victor Remulla told Rappler that the situation is “not as alarming” as initially reported. Despite PCG reports that 500,000 liters of oil was leaked, he said the number is closer to 90,000 liters.
