STORYLINE:
A remotely operated vehicle has spotted the MT Princess Empress, which sank off Oriental Mindoro province three weeks ago, spilling toxic oil into the sea, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said on Tuesday.
"The exact location is 7.7 nautical miles from Balingawan Point, Naujan (town) in Oriental Mindoro," the PCG said in a statement.
Oriental Mindoro Governor Humerlito Dolor showed photos and videos of the tanker during a press conference.
The PCG will issue a detailed report on the sunken vessel's status in a few days to map out their next move to contain the leak.
