The 260-hectare Pasay City Reclamation Project is one of several development projects in Manila Bay, currently the subject of an ambitious rehabilitation program by the Duterte administration. On January 27, an online public scoping was conducted in the area, with the proponents of the project hoping to convince various stakeholders to support the project.
