Fishers call for quick aid a month after Mindoro oil spill
A month after the oil spill off Oriental Mindoro, fishers are calling for quick and unconditional aid.
The Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya (PAMALAKAYA) national chairperson Fernando Hicap stated that about 18,000 fisherfolk from affected areas are still unable to return to their livelihood due to the slow response measures.
Hicap emphasized the need for accountability and compensation from the company responsible for the MT Princess Empress, which sank on February 28 with 800,000 liters of industrial fuel oil.
