The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said the municipal government of Pola in Oriental Mindoro would pursue legal actions against the owner, operator or insurer of the sunken fuel tanker in proper courts or administrative agencies due to the damage from the oil spill. The PCG said the town would create Task Force Pola to study the appropriate charges. Pola Mayor Jennifer Cruz said that apart from the temporary suspension of fishing activities in the province, the tourism industry in her town also saw a decline after the oil spill reached some of their beaches.
