70 oil spill-affected families return home
Excerpt
Seventy families from Barangay Mansaya, Lapuz, Iloilo City returned home on Wednesday almost two weeks after an oil spill incident displaced them. Gabino Ramon Mejia, head of plant operations of AC Energy Philippines, said they comprised the first batch of households who could go home following a risk assessment conducted by several stakeholders. AC Energy Philippines owns Power Barge 102 stationed at Bo. Obrero, Lapuz which exploded on July 3, 2020 and caused an oil spill.
