00:00The first part of the motor tanker Jason Bradley in Bataan has been raised to a new level.
00:08But the NBI is now investigating how this happened,
00:12even though there was already a warrant of seizure and detention back in 2022.
00:18John Consulta, EXCLUSIVE, was able to find out.
00:22There's the coast guard.
00:24Come back here.
00:27Come back here.
00:29The coast guard is here.
00:31This was caught in December 2023 in Mariveles, Bataan,
00:34while the NBI Organized and Transnational Crime Division
00:38and Bureau of Customs were trying to stop this boat
00:41that did not comply with the EEO oil smuggling.
00:44Twelve LORIO oil tanker trucks were prevented from the operation,
00:48which amounted to P7 million worth of diesel,
00:51which was confirmed smuggled by the authorities.
00:53You will also see in the video, when he escaped,
00:57that his hose was not removed yet.
00:59You know, he really ran away quickly when he saw that we were coming.
01:03So that's what really loaded the lorries that were there.
01:08In the test conducted by the Bureau of Customs on the seized fuel,
01:13they saw that these were smuggled fuel.
01:16The boat that was prevented by the NBI and Customs...
01:19What is the name of the boat?
01:20Jason Bradley.
01:21Jason Bradley is the name of the boat.
01:23This is also the boat MT Jason Bradley,
01:26which only a few months ago sank in the sea in Bataan
01:30and is now one of the oil spillers there.
01:34In this document of the Bureau of Customs that I got from a source,
01:38it was revealed that back in April 2022,
01:41the boat MT Jason Bradley had a warrant of seizure and detention
01:45after it crashed in the fuel marking test
01:48and without showing the proof of payment of duties and taxes
01:52that was signed by the DOJ.
01:54In fact, Jason Bradley has a seizure order from Customs
02:02because he was involved in a case before that was pending here with us.
02:07And that is because of oil smuggling.
02:10That is according to the investigation of the NBI when they verified the records.
02:15The NBI is now asking if the boat MT Jason Bradley has a warrant of seizure and detention in 2022.
02:22Why was it allowed to sail when it sank in July 2024 in Mariveles, Bataan?
02:29In a marine protest, the chief engineer of the MTKR Jason Bradley smiled.
02:34He said that their anchor was damaged in the impact of Hurricane Carina and Habagat.
02:39They tried to maneuver to find a sheltering area in Mariveles
02:44but they were hit by a big wave and the tanker sank.
02:48This is also included in the Interagency Investigation on Oil Spill.
02:53The PCG announced that the first part of the MTKR Jason Bradley has been lifted.
02:59The Counterintelligence Division and Bataan District Co. are continuously conducting investigations
03:09and we can smell that something fishy is going on.
03:13There is a possibility that there is an answer so far in the investigation.
03:19For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta.
03:23For 24 Hours.
