An international body that provides financial compensation for oil pollution damage has committed to settle the claims of oil spill victims in Oriental Mindoro, Justice Undersecretary Raul Vasquez said Tuesday.
In an ambush interview after the oil spill inter-agency committee meeting, Vasquez said the commitment was made by officials of the International Oil Pollution Compensation Funds during a recent visit.
P&I, the insurer of the owner of the ill-fated MT Princess Empress, committed to do the retrieval operations. "They were notified, they’re not here although I was told just few days ago they finally submitted their report," the undersecretary said.
