'Manila Bay rehab is no prelude to reclamation'
Excerpt
Environment secretary Roy Cimatu on Wednesday said that the ongoing Manila Bay rehabilitation is not a prelude to any land reclamation initiative the government is preparing for dozens of infrastructure projects. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is merely implementing a December 2008 mandamus of the Supreme Court to clean up, rehabilitate, and preserve Manila Bay, Cimatu said a during the Kapihan sa Manila Bay news forum. “Walang reclamation, we are just implementing the mandamus and there is no component for reclamation,” Cimatu said.
