It’s been a year since President Marcos had ordered the suspension pending review of the 22 reclamation projects in Manila Bay which have been blamed for the massive flooding after a heavy typhoon dumped heavy rain. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga, in a senate committee hearing on Aug. 1 said the results of the studies will be out in September. Meanwhile, the famous Manila Bay sunsets continue to enthrall people as it splashes its magnificent colors across the sky over a vast tract of reclaimed land, and the sea pushed back far away.
