local.descriptionLawmakers are urging the leadership of the House of Representatives to conduct an inquiry, in aid of legislation, into the suitability and sustainability of the Manila Bay rehabilitation program, even as an environmental lawyer revealed that proponents of the controversial beach “nourishment” project could face criminal and civil liabilities. Buhay Rep. Lito Atienza, Probinsyano Ako Rep. Jose C. Singson Jr. and the Makabayan bloc branded the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) project “inappropriate and unnecessary at this time.” The DENR started dumping crushed dolomite along Manila Baywalk to mimic white sand as part of Phase 1 of the project. The Palace has defended the project, saying it would benefit Filipinos’ “mental health,” while DENR said it would help discourage citizens from littering in Manila Bay.en
