MWSS pushes Manila Bay rehab
Excerpt
Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System Administrator Reynaldo V. Velasco believes teamwork and adherence to the concept of shared responsibility will ensure the restoration of the Manila Bay waters to Class B level sea water according to the Water Classification Tables mandated under DENR Administrative Order No. 34. “For the Manila Bay waters to be rehabilitated, restored and maintained to a level fit to swimming, skin diving and other contact forms of recreation, teamwork from all sectors is necessary,” Velasco said. “The concept of shared responsibility must be put into practice that will include responsible citizenship in disposing of garbage,” he added. Velasco made the statement in the wake of Senate’s plan to look into the wastewater treatment and sewerage system in Metro Manila as proposed by Senator Cynthia Villar.
