The Philippine Coast Guard-Iloilo Station on Sunday confirmed that it has officially ended the recovery process of the oil spill that leaked out of Power Barge 102. Lieutenant Commander Joe Luviz Mercurio, PCG-Iloilo Station commander, said they were done with the recovery process efforts on Saturday, a day earlier than the July 12 target. “The termination of the recovery process was agreed upon by the incident management team after an area assessment was done in the morning of July 11,” he said. Earlier, Mercurio said the PCG is hastening the recovery process to be able to start with the clean-up operation.
