Excerpt

All 308 families that were displaced by the recent oil spill have returned home safely, with AC Energy Philippines keeping its promise to do everything it could to mitigate the societal and environmental impacts of the incident in a responsible manner. The last remaining 41 households were cleared and passed the reintegration parameters, and returned to their respective homes in Barangay Bo. Obrero (Zone 3), Lapuz district on Saturday, July 18. For around a week, they were temporarily evacuated by AC Energy to several hotels in Mandurriao district together with 267 other families to protect them from the heavy fumes of the bunker fuel that oozed out of Power Barge 102 into the coasts of Iloilo City and Guimaras on July 3 following an explosion.
