Netizens on Thursday slammed Environment Undersecretary Benny Antiporda and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority spokesperson Pircelyn Pialago after selfie photos they took at the Manila Bay with the so-called dolomite white sand beach in the background. The photos taken Thursday morning, which netizens branded as “insensitive” in the aftermath of Typhoon “Ulysses,” were deleted after the two government officials came under fire on social media. Antiporda posted the pictures on Facebook and wrote a caption: “Dolomite lang ang matatag” (only dolomite lasts).
