π£ππ‘π’π’π₯ππ‘: Saksihang muli ang mga kaganapan sa nakalipas na 54 na araw sa mahigpit na pagtugon ng pamahalaan kaugnay sa pagtagas ng langis mula sa lumubog na Motor Tanker Princess Empress sa karagatan ng Oriental Mindoro.
Muli nagpapasalamat ang pamunuan ng Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) at Incident Management Team ng Oriental Mindoro sa pakikiisa ng iba't-ibang ahensya ng gobyerno; foreign counterparts at eksperto mula Japan, Estados Unidos, South Korea, UK, France, at Singapore; at maging ang mga volunteers na naglaan ng panahon upang mag-abot ng tulong sa krisis na ito.
Asahan niyong tututukan ng PCG at ng iba pang ahensya ang patuloy na operasyon sa mga kasalukuyang apektadong komunidad dulot ng oil spill.
Gayunpaman, sama-sama tayo sa pagbangon sa pagsubok na kinakaharap, paigtingin lalo ang kahandaan, at naway pagtibayin ang tunay na diwa ng bayanihan tungo sa mas matatag at nagkakaisang bansa.
