This paper reviews the oil spill situation in the Philippines over the past 22 years, showing that oil spills occur frequently in areas with high maritime traffic and decrease temporarily during economic recessions. The sources, causes, and potential influence of changing climate on oil spills are discussed. However, there is a gap in the reporting of oil spill incidents in the Philippines.
As an archipelago, the Philippines is heavily engaged in domestic and foreign shipping activities which makes it highly vulnerable to oil pollution. It is the purpose of this present paper to make a follow-up review of the oil spill situation in the Philippines which provides analysis and evaluation of aquatic oil spills in the past 22 years. Results showed that the frequency and volume of oil spills generally occur in areas with high maritime traffic and experienced short-term decreases on periods affected by economic recessions. The sources and causes of oil spills are discussed while examining the possible influences of the changing climate. While, these had been identified, there is a gap in the incident reporting of oil spills. It is recommended that data records on oil spill incidents in the Philippines be systematic, consistent and comprehensively entail information not limited to date, locality, source, cause, and spillage amount.
