President thumbs down Mindoro oil spill czar

PRESIDENT Ferdinand'Bongbong' Marcos Jr.

is not keen on designating a czar to lead the government's response to the oil spill that has spread from a sunken ship in the waters off Oriental Mindoro.Speaking to reporters, Marcos said the Philippine Coast Guard , led by Commandant Admiral Artemio Abu, was already leading the task.

'There's no need to reorganize something for everything. The idea is to have the assets in place, so that 'pag may mangyaring ganyan, may response na tayo ,' Marcos said during a media interview in Taguig City.'We don't have to organize a special group, a special committee, a special task force. They are ready already as it is,' he added.
