The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will impose fines of up to P200,000 per day on establishments found to have contributed to the pollution of Manila Bay, an official said yesterday. The computation of the penalty will start on the day water sampling is conducted by a team from the agency’s Environmental Management Bureau, DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu said. He added that they have been continuously identifying establishments that do not comply with the Clean Water Act and will release the list during the launch of the bay’s rehabilitation program on Jan. 27.
