The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), through its Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), issued cease and desist orders to three companies and notices of violations to six establishments in the area of the Manila Bay after they were found non-compliant with environmental regulations. The orders were issued during the DENR’s Manila Bay clean-up drive on Sunday, which the agency calls the Battle for Manila Bay. The companies issued cease and desist orders on Aristocrat and Gloria Maris Shark’s Fin restaurants along Roxas Boulevard and The Esplanade (San Miguel by the Bay), for generating “pollutive wastewater.” The DENR said it has cut the water sources of these establishments.
