Chief Justice Diosdado Peralta led a group that inspected the dolomite sand beach in Manila Bay last Wednesday, along with Associate Justices Rodil Zalameda, Mario Lopez, Edardo delos Santos, and Ricardo Rosario. There had been charges that the dolomite beach posed a danger to public health. There were also reports that the recent heavy rains were washing the white bits of dolomite out into the bay. But that was not why the Supreme Court group was there.
