The team of Japanese oil control experts that would aid the country on the Oriental Mindoro oil spill cleanup will be leaving for the Philippines on Friday, the Japanese Embassy said Thursday.
According to the Embassy, the eight-man Japan Disaster Relief Expert Team will consist of members from the Japan Coast Guard , the Japan International Cooperation Agency, and the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines.
“While the Philippine Coast Guard, which received support for capacity enhancement from the JCG, is principally leading response activities of oil removal and control, the Philippine Government has made a request to the Government of Japan to dispatch experts who can supervise the activities,” the Embassy said in a press statement.
