As an encouragement after the impacts of the oil spill incident in the sector of tourism in Oriental Mindoro, Dolor relayed to the tourism stakeholders that a ship that has a machine capable of sipping the remaining oil in the bodies of water is on its way in the province. Although according to him, it will still take some 20 to 30 more days before traces of the contaminants will be totally sipped; so continuous assistance to the affected will be given utmost importance.
