Manila Bay rehab ‘unhampered’ by pandemic, DENR chief says
Excerpt
Despite threats posed by the Covid-19 pandemic and community quarantines put in place by the government since March this year, government’s efforts to rehabilitate Manila Bay remain unhampered, according to Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Roy A. Cimatu. Cimatu, also the designated chairman of the Manila Bay Inter-Agency Task Force (MBIATF), reported that the solar-powered sewage treatment plant (STP) inaugurated in July highlighted the year’s accomplishments. “Our work continues despite the limitations in mobilizing people, especially for our cleanup, monitoring and enforcement activities,” Cimatu said in a news statement.
