Manila Bay rehab comes next
Excerpt
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is preparing to rehabilitate Manila Bay using the same ambitious strategy that restored Boracay Island to its pristine condition. Manila Bay is known for its beautiful sunsets but its waters are considered the most polluted in the country due to domestic sewage, toxic industrial effluents from factories and shipping operations, and leachate from garbage dumps, among others. DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu said he is keen to have Manila Bay rehabilitated, restored, and maintained to a level fit for swimming, skin diving, and other contact forms of recreation.
