The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is at the head of Government efforts to clean important tourist attractions such as Boracay, Bohol, and Palawan. While they are at it, it would be better if concerned also launch a serious and massive cleanup of Manila Bay and Laguna de Bay, the two most prominent bodies of water in Metro Manila and Luzon, which have been suffering from pollution and environmental degradation for so long. Buhay Party-list Rep. Lito Atienza, a former secretary of DENR, reiterated the need for cleaning up Manila Bay and Laguna Lake at the Kapihan sa Maynila Bay in Cafe Adriatico yesterday.
