An environment management plan (EMP) that will address the environmental impact of the oil spill following an explosion in a power barge in Brgy. Bo. Obrero, Lapuz district on July 3, 2020 is on a roll. This was the assurance of AC Energy Philippines, owner of the Power Barge 102 which accidentally spilled bunker fuel into the coast of Iloilo City due to still undetermined cause. AC Energy said that the EMP, which was submitted to the DENR’s Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), focuses on the detailed plans of the company and the relevant timeline for the implementation of such plans relative to the key areas which the DENR-EMB stressed and highlighted during the technical conference it hosted Wednesday last week.
