Typhoon Ompong might have made a mess at the Las Piñas Wetland Park, but that didn't stop Senator Cynthia Villar from looking forward to its rise one day as the go-to spot for nature-loving Filipinos in the metropolis. Speaking on the occasion of the International Coastal Clean-up Dat at Las Piñas-Parañaque Wetland Park last September 22, where the typhoon made its presence felt in the form of plastic waste mountains along the Manila Bay coast, Villar reminded the thousands of volunteers and attendees about the area's potential for development.
