Two months after President Marcos announced the suspension of all reclamation projects in Manila Bay, fishermen witnessed a dredging vessel closely passing their boat off Cavite on Saturday night, fishers’ group Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) said. “The dredging vessel is involved in seabed quarrying in Cavite to fulfill several dump-and-fill projects in Manila Bay, particularly for the airport reclamation project in Bulacan,” Pamalakaya yesterday said. “The continuous dredging operations is proof that Marcos Jr.’s suspension order on reclamation is a sham, especially with the absence of an official executive order,” it added.
