The UP Visayas Oil Spill Response Program, under the leadership of Dr. Resurreccion B. Sadaba, organized a team of scientists, researchers, and field assistants to conduct a rapid assessment of impact areas affected by the MT Princess Empress oil spill in Semirara, Caluya, and Mindoro Oriental. The project, which will run for three months starting last June 15, is a collaborative effort between UPV, Mindoro State University (MSU), and selected government units from the provinces of Oriental Mindoro and Antique.
