'Strict law enforcement needed for Manila Bay cleanup'
Excerpt
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has vowed to strictly implement the country’s Clean Water Law as it beefed up efforts to restore Manila Bay to its pristine state fit for public recreation. Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu said the strict implementation of the Philippine Clean Water Act is the “key to addressing water quality issues and other environmental problems in the bay.” Ocular inspections conducted by the DENR showed that several establishments in Manila discharged their wastewater into Manila Bay.
