A fishermen’s group and an environmental advocacy network on Wednesday filed Petitions for Writ of Kalikasan and Continuing Mandamus against various reclamation and seabed quarrying projects at Manila Bay. The petitions were filed by the Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) and environmental group Kalikasan People’s Network for the Environment at the Supreme Court. The respondents in the petition are the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA)—the government agencies responsible for the approval and processing of reclamation and seabed quarrying projects.
