Power firm ‘fast-tracks’ oil spill clean-up in Oriental Mindoro

THE diesel power plant in Oriental Mindoro allegedly responsible for the oil spill that has damaged several hectares of farmlands assured residents affected by the incident that it was “fast-tracking” its clean-up operations.

“We would like to assure the residents of Calapan, Oriental Mindoro and the general public that we are fast-tracking the clean-up of the oil that accidentally leaked out of the storage tank in our 15-megawatt (MW) power plant last November 6,” the DMCI Power Corp. said in an emailed statement to The Manila Times on Thursday night.
