Resolved, and now being watched so it does not simply happen again.
The cargo vessel LCT MSCI 1, carrying gravel from Ilocos Norte to Calayan, Cagayan, made an emergency beaching off Barangay La Virgen Milagrosa, Badoc on 8 June 2026 after listing in rough seas. An oil-and-water mixture spread along about 15 metres of coastline and oil residues were reported in Barangay Dadalaquiten Norte, Sinait, Ilocos Sur; the Philippine Coast Guard laid spill booms and absorbent pads with the BFP, PNP and Marine Battalion Landing Team-8. BFAR estimated three to five drums of oil mixture leaked within a 15-metre radius, recorded no fish kill, and said about 135 registered fisherfolk and 30 fishing vessels were affected, with DOLE cash-for-work and DSWD food aid arranged.
