The Iloilo City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) advised the public, especially residents along the coastline of Barangay Sto. Niño Sur in Arevalo district, to avoid swimming in the area following an alleged oil spill incident over the weekend. The advisory was raised pending the final result of the spill test conducted by Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-Environmental Management Bureau (EMB). CDRRMO Operations and Warning Unit Head Angeli Buencuchillo said the DENR-EMB will reveal this week the result of the Water Analysis Oil and Grease Test.
