President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. assured on Thursday that heads will roll among government officials involved in the oil spill incident involving three motor tankers that sank off Bataan.

In his speech during the distribution of various aid to fisherfolk and their families in Navotas City, President Marcos said there is already an ongoing investigation into the oil spill incident to identify the persons who will be held accountable.

“Sa usapin naman ng imbestigasyon, tuloy-tuloy ang paghahanap natin ng sagot sa mga katanungang: May kinalaman ba ang mga barkong ito sa oil smuggling? Bakit ang dalawang barko, sa kabila ng walang rehistro ay napatakbo sa ating karagatan?” President Marcos said.

“Lahat ito ay iniimbestigahan para tiyakin na pananagutin natin ang mga may sala,” the Chief Executive added.

Authorities are investigating the sinking of motor tankers Terranova, Jason Bradley, and Mirola off the coast of Bataan last July.

Issues being investigated include the possibility of the ships being involved in oil smuggling. Two of the motor tankers, Jason Bradley and Mirola, were initially found lacking authorization to operate. PND
