The City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) found no adverse environmental damage caused by the July oil spill in the Iloilo Straight. Noel Hechanova, CENRO chief, cited the result of his team’s months-long assessment of oil spill-hit areas in this southern city. “Wala man ta masyado gid damage, wala man ta cleanup nga paga-obrahon,” said Hechanova. However, oil debris was still spotted in barangays of Loboc, Mansaya and Bo. Obrero, he added.
