Excerpt

A top official of the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) told a hearing of the House of Representatives that the agency is currently processing 22 reclamation project in Manila Bay, three of which are nearing approval. The representative were told that once approved, the project would cover 22,000 hectares or about 11 percent of Manila Bay's 1,994 square kilometer area. The three proposed projects, which may be ahead of the others because their proponents have complied with requirements imposed by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), are the 360-hectare Pasay reclamation project, the 140-hectare Solar City project in Manila, and the Navotas Boulevard Bussiness Park.
