The oil spill from a damaged power barge in this city has spread to coastal towns of Iloilo province, and the island province of Guimaras. “It is spreading,” said Donna Magno, director of the Iloilo City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (Iloilo City DRRMO). Magno told The Manila Bulletin Sunday that the bunker fuel coming from the barge has reached the coastal areas of Leganes, Dumangas and Oton towns that face the Iloilo Strait. There have also been sightings of bunker fuel in the Guimaras towns of Jordan and Buenavista, which face Iloilo City.
