President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Saturday directed the Department of the Interior and Local Government to hold talks with local government leaders on permitting affected fisherfolk to fish in alternative sites while the cleanup following the massive oil spill in Oriental Mindoro is ongoing. The Chief Executive gave the instruction in a situation briefing after he conducted an aerial inspection of areas affected by the oil spill off Oriental Mindoro last February. During a briefing in Pola town, the President discussed how the affected fishermen could use alternative fishing sites as the oil spill continues to disrupt their livelihood.
