Bukod sa kasong sibil, maaari ring maharap sa kasong kriminal ang may-ari ng lumubog na M/T Princess Empress kung ito ay tatalikod sa kanyang mga obligasyon, ayon kay Oriental Mindoro Governor Humerlito Dolor kahapon, Marso 13.
“The filing of damages is given. We are preparing the computation and the mechanics for the filing of the civil case. Aside from this, there is the criminal aspect, a case of neglect. If we feel the company is remiss in its obligation, it can face criminal cases aside from the civil case,” wika ni Dolor.
Sa ngayon, prayoridad aniya ng pamahalaang panlalawigan ang pagtugon sa oil slick at pagbibigay ng tulong sa mga apektadong residente.
“The filing of criminal and civil cases can wait. Our priority right now is to clean up affected areas and provide cash-for-work for affected residents as part of the directive of President Marcos to the labor department,” ani ng Gobernador.
Ayon kay Dulog, nangako naman sa isang pagpupulong ang may-ari ng lumubog na oil tanker na pananagutan nito ang nangyaring insidente.
“In the presence of the Philippine Coast Guard, officials of the departments of health, and environment and natural resources as well as local government units, they gave assurance that they will not abandon their responsibilities.”
Sa pagpupulong, napagkasunduan din ang paggamit ng isang remotely operated vehicle (ROV) mula ibang bansa upang matunton ang Empress at pigilan ang oil spill.
“They said in one week’s time they can assure the arrival of the ship. I told them the faster the ROV’s arrival, the better for all of us,” ani Dolor.
