The government is now drawing up a “harmonized recovery” plan for areas in the Mimaropa and Western Visayas regions that were affected by the oil spill in Oriental Mindoro waters. Mimaropa, particularly Oriental Mindoro and Western Visayas, were severely affected by industrial oil from the sunken MT Princess Empress that sank off the waters of Naujan, Oriental Mindoro. The vessel was said to be carrying some 900,000 liters of industrial oil when it sank on February 28.
