Rear Admiral Armand Balilo, PCG spokesperson, clarified that no actual fire will be used during the maritime exercises, and the drill will not aggravate the situation in Manila Bay where there is an ongoing oil spill cleanup in Bataan. There are reported pockets of oil sheen in the area due to the sinking of two motor tankers, the Terra Nova and Jason Bradley, and the motor vessel Mirola 1 which had run aground.
"The exercise would be held far from ground zero" of the oil spill, Balilo said.
In a statement, the PCG said the VCG vessel CSB 8002 would arrive at the Manila port for a four-day port call from Aug. 5 to Aug. 9.
Its estimated 80-member crew will be led by VCG Region 2 vice commander Col. Hoang Quốc Dat.
