Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) (MANILA BULLETIN) Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu said that the DENR has taken measures to mitigate the impact of an oil spill incident which resulted from the sinking of cargo vessel MV Racal IV on Black Saturday, April 3, in the coastal town of Jasaan. “In incidents such as these, our goal is to always protect the ecosystem, the biodiversity it hosts, and the people in the area,” he said. Cimatu said the DENR-Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) in Region 10 has coordinated with the local government of Jasaan and the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) to prevent the further contamination of the coastal communities.
