Basing on reports gathered from Cabilao residents, the controversial oil exploration in Bohol seas has started contrary to beliefs that the project proponents would respect their word of honor to resolve unsettled issues first.

Random telephone calls to Pantudlan in Cabilao Island off Loon indicate that since Thursday, project proponents have been sending advisories against diving in the vicinity of the island, while reports reaching the city state that the operations have been suspended.

Residents have also visually sighted MV Pacific Sword from the coastlines, and local fishermen have felt the activity’s impact with the drastic decline in fish catch noted in the island.

Environmental Legal Assistance Center (ELAC) a non-government organization spearheading the awareness campaigns on possible environmental effects of the seismic survey said the project proponents have started gathering the fish aggregating devices in the area. Aside from being navigational hazards, the devices could snag the survey operations.

Proponents have commissioned a special ship, Mv Pacific Sword to conduct the seismic survey. The ship is reported to drag some six kilometers of cable with sensors to record every detail of the sea surface.

Loon Mayor Cesar Tomas Lopez, in a radio interview Thursday promised to send somebody to check on the reports that despite unresolved issues on the environmental impacts and compensation of affected fishers, the survey team has indeed started.

Over the initial reports from concerned Loon residents that the project proponents went on with the survey despite an unresolved request for a temporary restraining order, Participatory Research Organization of Communities towards Education and Self-Reliance Project Director Emilia Roslinda sai she is frustrated at the things are happening in Bohol.

Roslinda is among the personalities comprising the Technical Working Group tasked to benchmark the effects of the survey on communities and the environment within the survey scope.

Lawyer Raul Barbarona, ELAC executive director, along with City Legal Officer and environmentalist Doni Piquero, Integrated Bar of the Philippines Bohol representative and lawyer Florendo Columnas and Bohol Alliance of Non-Government Organizations (BANGON) requested the courts to grant a temporary restraining order on the survey.

Even then, groups opposed to the seismic survey to determine the presence of oil and gas trapped under Bohol seas showed force Monday during a simultaneous activity in front of the Capitol and at the survey venue, Maribojoc Bay.

Close to two hundred commercial fishers and marginal fishermen set to be directly or indirectly affected by the survey showed protest as they festooned orange banners on their boats and paraded in a show of force Monday, the biggest gathering of boats so far in Bohol history.

On the filed prayer for TRO, Regional Trial Court Branch 4 presiding judge Achiles Melicor has given the oppositors chance to explain the merits of their plea and has set the hearing for July 2.

The same may be true to project proponents who shall be heard, Barbarona hinted.

In early coordination meetings in the city, Barbarona said NorAsian Energy Limited and the Department of Energy has committed not to start with the survey until issues on environment impact assessment, compensation and sharing is resolved.

Loon Mayor Lopez said the proponents have intimated to pay P115 to every affected fisher for the survey duration. Separate reports said the proponents have indicated no compensation to fish aggregating devices owned by commercial fishers, of which more than a hundred are still there.

This is my initial comment: "Mga kaigsoonan ato kining oil ug walay bisan kinsang banyaga ang maka kuha niini sa walay pag-pananghid sa mga bol-anon. Walay bisan kinsa ang maka kuha or bisan mag conduct ug test kung walay atong pag tugot. Kung mahitabo kana, usa kana ka violation sa atong sovereignty..." Akong usbon, ang Bohol mo lambo pinaagi sa Eco-tourism. Mas daghang private sector business nga mo lambo through tourism, compared to dirty oil business nga ang mga shareholders lang sa company nga nag drill ang makasapi' ug ang ilang mga sinsilyo adto padulong sa mga laborer nga Boholano. Kita man unta ang tag-iya ana nga oil pero kita na hinoon ang mahimong labor...matinuod gayod ang ginaingon nga: kita ra ang gi pirito sa atong kaugalingon nga oil....ingna ko nga bakak.

Macky,

Sa akong pagsabot, adunay mga gamhanang kamot nga nagpaluyo ani ngano nga gibaliwala sa mga oil/treasure hunter ang singgit sa mabagang duot sa katawhan.

Tubag, Gov. Erico Aumentado! The news said you learned about the nearly fatal tornado only four days after it hit Bohol.

Now, how many days will it take for you learn about this latest rape of Bohol seas, Gov?

Asa naman ang mga NPA nga manalipod man kaha sa mga katawhan? Unsay inyong mabuhat aron panalipdan ang atong kalikopan?

Kung ang gobyerno dili makasanta sa mga moamong-among sa atong kadagatan, asa naman ta padulong ani?

Mga Mayor, Gobernador.... hinumdumi nga you are servants of the Boholano people. Karong ang mga Boholano nag sugo' kaninyo sa pag pahunong niining illegal nga kalihukan..... Gi k******n na kita sa atobangan.... manong nagpaka buta-bungol man mo.... Hooooy!!!

We know there is oil, but no foreign country has the right even just to know that we have oil. It is our own oil and nobody should touch it without our consent... our sovereignty is at stake here...

Gob & Mayors,
If you are aiming for a long term political career, now is your chance. Show off what you got. Akong gi awhag ang mga bag-ong na elected nga mga officiales nga ilang ipakita ang ilang gilas. Since election is still fresh, you are all in the safe side. Whatever you do, wheater it hurts the administration, it will not affect much of your carreer as election is fresh and you still have a long journey to go. Nobody knows what will happen on the way. We can not predict the political climate. If you act now, it will be credited to your name. The Boholano people will never forget. This issue will give leverage to your name for the next election.

This is not an issue of pro-administration or oposition, but an issue of our sovereignty at stake, including YOU who is reading this...

Daghang salamat sa inyong pagtutok niining isyu sa oil exploration.

Sa pagkatinood, tug-anan ko kamo:

Dako kaayo ang pagpakabana sa mga kadagkuan sa atong lalawigan kabahin niining gihimo nga oil exploration sa Department of Energy pinaagi sa NorAsian Energy Ltd. ug gihimo ang tanan sa kutob sa makaya sa gahum sa lokal nga pangagamhanan aron mahapnig ang kaseguroan sa mga gagmay nga mangingisda.

Oil exploration per se is not an affront to our national sovereignty because even the Constitution, ratified by the Filipino people, allows a joint effort with foreign corporations to utilize our natural resources.

This is not theft of natural resources because the State, the owner of every natural resource in our jurisdiction under the regalian doctrine, has consented to the exploration activity.

The oil exploration is part of national policy. Sa pagkatinood, the realistic options available to the local officials are:

- Negotiate with DOE and Service Contractor  to ensure the small fishers are compensated for the adverse effects of their livelihood. This responsibility is handled by the municipal local governments.

- Ensure the commitment of the project proponents that they will have to rehabilitate whatever environment damage will result out from the activity and on the tourism industry.

A court action was already filed asking for a Temporary Restraining Order to stop the conduct of the seismic activity. No TRO is issued yet and the court will still hear the side of the respondents (DENR, DOE, NorAsian).

Sa pagkatinood, mahuman na lang ang seismic survey, dili pa mahuman ang hearing sa TRO. Ug sa gikasulti ko na sa miagi, only the Supreme Court can issue a TRO to stop this kind of activity undertaken by the national government. By filing the complaint before the Regional Trial Court, wrong venue na and the judge will not risk to be held liable for ignorance of the law.

Laing punto mao nga ang Cebu did not show any opposition to the project, so it can be concluded its officials are in favor of it. Since the oil deposit is in the Cebu-Bohol Strait, the proponents can put the oil rig within the seawaters of Cebu but this does not mean the oil deposit within Bohol waters will not be "sucked" by the pumps.  This is the dilemma of the Boholanos. Basin na unya hinoon ug Cebu ra ang mabulahan and, whether we like it or not, the site of the oil rig would have an impact on our tourist's impression of our paradise.

Usa sa angayan buhaton mao ang pag-amendar sa atong balaod ug regulations. Magkinahanglan kini ug mga scientific study (nga gisugdan karon og himo pinaagi sa Environtal Baseline Data Survey Technical Working Group nga giapilan sa Silliman University Marine Laboratory [now Institute for Environmental and Marine Studies]) to back up the needed change.

Ang panawagan sa mga NPA nga maoy molihok aron sa pagbabag sa oil survey mahipunta lamang sa mga bungol nga dunggan. The NPAs will not lift a finger. Sulti-an ko kamo ngano:

- The bulk of the profit will go to the investor. This will not harm their cause.

- The bulk of the remaining profit will go to the national government which will go to the general fund which will ultimately go to the pork barrels of senators, congressmen and yes, including the party-list representatives -- a number of which have been suspected to be using their pork barrel to finance the operations of their armed counterpart.

- The remaining portion of the profit will be shared by the LGUs which may not generate substantial impact for the benefit of the local constituents.

Daghang salamat Rico sa imong pagpahayag….

You have just exposed the loopholes of our imperfect law and how to use this in making unethical money the legal way. You have just told us the mechanics of corruption. Yes, I suspect the same pork barrel is used to shut the mouths of our concerned departments who should be the protector of the people.

Yes you are right in saying that oil exploration is not an affront to our sovereignty…. It is the destructive method that is…. that is War is all about…..destruction…. We are the ones who are affected and it is only but just to defend ourselves.

It is true that on local levels, our officials are constrained with limitations up to their elected authorities. However, we the people who owns the government are not and we have every right to say “no” as a democratic society.

Personally, I am not bothered if Cebu gets all the Oil. Cebu is already a wasteland….let them get all the pollution they could possibly have. Nonetheless, I am not jealous of this small fraction that is already feasted by the National government & its officials.

We have an environment agency that seems not functioning. DENR must be incapable of searching for different options of safe oil exploration. There are better ways of exploring oil rather than this destructive, old method one. We have now what is called Remote Sensing or Satellite Imagery. You may read below or visit their site for further details. www.satimagingcorp.com/svc/oil-exploration.html

SATELLITE IMAGERY FOR OIL EXPLORATION
Accurate data that leads to accurate decisions.
Accurate satellite imagery is the most cost-effective method of oil exploration available to petroleum experts today. Whether your project is in Alaska or Arabia, we are experienced in acquiring and processing images that will lower your exploration risk and decrease your project cost.
No matter how remote, Satellite Imaging Corporation can retrieve your images from the most difficult-to-photograph areas of the world. For heavily forested areas, we provide medium-to-high resolution "Bare Earth" DEM's utilizing the Synthetic Aperture Radar (X/P SAR) data. This provides weather independency, allowing us to map large areas of terrain in limited timeframes, independent of the weather and solar illumination conditions. We are also familiar with specialized retrieval methods used for digital imagery in remote areas, highly developed areas and areas of persistent heavy cloud cover such as the tropics.
Satellite Imaging Corporation provides specialized image processing per client requirements. By color balancing and utilizing the correct satellite band combinations, Satellite Imaging Corporation isolates the terrain features and geological information needed for correct analysis of your petroleum project. The images can be optimized to enhance a wide range of geological, manmade and terrain features. For example, in jungle terrain in the Amazon basin, we have recovered old well locations and heliports by filtering the correct band combinations for the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) mapping technique.
For an even more complete picture, Satellite Imagery Corporation provides 3-D visuals of your potential sites, allowing for a full analysis and comparison of your most promising options. Geological features affecting oil & gas exploration are identified with high resolution Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) and viewed in 3D terrain visualization environments. The data and imagery can be further prepped for complex analyses such as hydrocarbon indications or fracture analysis to ensure the best decisions regarding drill sites.
Our products can be used to:
•   Detect seismic lines and well locations
•   Document persistent offshore oil seepage
•   Map rock formations, elevation, and major structures
•   Update coordinates of old well locations
•   Differentiate major rock types
•   Identify barren and productive basin areas
•   Perform noninvasive mapping to preserved areas

Tinood gyod nga adunay nagpaluyo niining tanan..Diha gyod nato maila kung unsa ka puppet ang atong pang gobyerno tungod kay naghulat lang sila og mando sa mga nagpaluyo kanila  wla man nila tan awa nga naghinalo na intawon ang atong  katawhan nga ilang gilapasan sa katungod.Matag proyekyo nga ipaduso wala man gyod ta kabati nga kine nakaayo sa katawahan..puro man lang pagpanglupig og pagyatak sa katungod sa uban...Tataw na kaayo nga ang ilang gialagaran kadto rang  mga adunahan apan ang mga kabos gisalikway na og gihinay hinay na og patay sa mga salbahis nga namunuan..BAyran ra og P115 ang matag mangingisda nga maapektuhan sa ilang programa???makahimuot palandungon ang ilang pamaagi...Hangtod kanus a man tawn sila makaamgo sa ilang gibuhat...Bisan paman kung nagprotesta na ang bagang duot sa katawhan tungod sa pagdumili sa maong programa  apan wala ra gihapon kine nila pamatia...Sila ra gyod gihapon ang makaingon nganong ang katawhan mubatok kanila...Dile ikalimod nga sa pas2x nga pag paantos sa atong pangagamhanan, ang katawhan makadesisyon sa  paglugsong sa kabanikanhan aron musalmot sa armadong kusog og iisa  ang ilang mga demanda kabahin sa dile makatarunganon nga pagdumala...

Og bisan unsaon nila magtudos ang mga NPA naa gyod gihapon ang musalmot niini tungod kay sila raman gihapon ang nagmugna og sitwasyon og naghagit sa katawhan aron makigbatok kanila...

So when can we remain deaf and blind of this woes and pains of our sovereign Filipino people...

Dept. of Energy secretary Raphael Lotilla mimando na pagpahunong sa NorAsian energy ltd. sa paghunong sa ilang seismic survey diri sa Bohol. Pero ang NorAsian natapus na sa paghimo ug 3 dimensional survey didto sa kadagatan sa Loon ug ang sunod nga schedule mao na lamang ang 2D survey diha sa kadagatan sa Dauis, Panglao, Tagbilaran , Maribojoc.
Si Atty. Raul Barbarona, ang nangulo sa TRO nga gifile sa Bangon nahadlok, nga basin ug ang ulahing mga katikaran masusama ra gihapon sa nahaunang mga lakang, nga sama ra sa pakonsuelo sa katawhan nga dili ipadayon ang pagsurvey sa Bohol, samtang di pa mahuman ang baseline data apan ang tinuod, ang survey gisugdan gyud sa gitakdang panahon didto sa habig sa Sugbu.

Ginoong Ferniz,

Maayo unta kon gihimo pa sa Dept. of Energy ang satellite imagery dinhi sa kadagatan sa Bohol aron dili na matugaw ang atong kalikupan ug mga gagmayng mangignisda.

Mas maayo unta pud kon makakita ka dugang mga literature kabahin sa satellite imagery to locate oil deposits nga dili sinulat sa publicist sa usa ka satellite company. Kon mahimo, gikan sa usa ka neutral and impartial source -- aron motoo gayod ang Dept. of Energy.

Padayon sa imong pagpakabana, G. Ferniz.

Matinahuron,

Erico
