Watch: Large Deposit of Oil Accidentally Discovered in Iloilo While Drilling for Water - Ask Philippines
How fortunate for the government. The mineral rights belong to the nation not the landowner. The greatest likelihood is that while it is probably a large pocket and potentially useful, it probably isn't economically feasible to capture and build a distribution pipeline. It might be worthwhile to move a portable gas turbine generator to the site and use it until it is gone. I'm glad the drillers weren't killed which could easily have happened.
