The company did not mention the fatality. It said an “isolated” fire broke out around 9 p.m. on Saturday at its containment basin near the pier “and did not spread to the main manufacturing sites.”
It said its workers were immediately evacuated as the in-house emergency response team put the fire out. Government and volunteer firefighters and the local police were not allowed to enter the company during the blaze and were told that there could be potentially harmful fumes, according to Lito Castro, chief of the Batangas DRRMC, and Police Col. Rex Malimban, Batangas police chief.But Malimban said in a phone interview that the fire might have reached a stockpile of “used oil.
In 2014, it had to temporarily shut down its operation after a machine broke down and caused a fire that sent clouds of smoke that lasted for a couple of days.No one was reported hurt in the 2014 fire, but environmental and Church-based groups in Batangas have since taken the company to task for operating a naphtha cracker plant that could pose harm to the community.
