Akbayan Citizens’ Action Party asked the Supreme Court to cite the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in contempt for dumping crushed dolomite along Manila Bay to create a “white sand” effect. In its motion-in-intervention, Akbayan said DENR’s project violates its continuing mandate to rehabilitate the bay. The party cites the ecological impact and health hazards of the material.
