A fishermen's group on Tuesday blamed seabed quarrying and reclamation for what it described as “stronger than usual” waves hitting coastal communities around Manila Bay. However, an official of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources said only a scientific investigation can establish if the group’s theory is correct. The Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) said that at the height of Tropical Storm Enteng on Monday, a barge was washed near the shore of Rosario, Cavite, nearly slamming makeshift homes of a coastal community in the area.
