The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) here has officially denied the presence of alleged oil spill in this resort island.
This developed after a concerned citizen posted in the social media two photos of Boracay waters showing presence of massive oil spill.
Lt. Jimmy Oliver Vingno, commander of the Coast Guard station in Caticlan, said that they immediately conducted operations Monday morning to verify the photos posted in the social media.
"Based on our findings, there were no presence of oil spill right now in Boracay. The photos may have been taken previously and that we are still investigating it," said Vingno.
The photos were said to be an aerial shot, taken using a helicopter.
If the photos were true, the PCG said the oil spill may have been caused by oil discharges from the motorized bancas in this resort island.
Some divers said that there were times they could see the presence of oil spill after they surfaced from the sea.
