OrMin to be placed under state of calamity
By J.Lo
"Ang proseso pwedeng legal or amicable settlement… as far as people are concerned…kaya individual ang claims, insurer at individual, hindi pa collective," Oriental Mindoro Gov. Humerlito Dolor wants entire province placed under state of calamity due to oil spill from sunken motor tanker Princess Empress.
Dolor directed Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office to prepare recommendation for calamity declaration in view of latest situational reports from Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and Department of Health.
Parts of OrMin initially affected by oil spill had earlier been placed under state of calamity.
Dolor said provincial government is giving priority to these areas to ensure food and livelihood would be provided to affected residents.
He said just compensation should be given to affected communities.
The provincial government will ensure fisherfolk will receive compensation considering it has been month since fishing bans were imposed in affected areas, he said.
Meanwhile, PCG Vice Admiral Rolando Punzalan Jr. reported cleanup of 60 percent of shorelines affected by oil spill had been completed.
"This is good progress sa ating pagtatanggal po ng langis sa mga naapektuhang mga coastlines," Punzalan said.
He cited assistance provided by coast guards from Japan, South Korea and United States as well as experts from France and US Navy, who arrived in the country on Wednesday.
He said it has yet to be determined when coastal cleanup will be finished even as he gave assurance PCG and other stakeholders are working double time.
