“The amount is minimal and manageable and, hopefully, it will stay that way until we can start the siphoning.”The oil spill was being carried by sea currents toward towns in the provinces of Batangas and Cavite, south of Manila, which were advised to prepare to contain any oil that may reach their shores. A town in Bataan province has indefinitely banned fishing in waters which could have been contaminated by the leak, the coast guard said.
