In line with President Duterte’s order to clean up Manila Bay, the government is mulling a review of all reclamation projects, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año said yesterday. Año said they will coordinate with other government agencies to determine if the reclamation projects are in accordance with the country’s laws. Año cited some of the laws as Republic Act 9003 or the Solid Waste Management Act, RA 9275 or the Clean Water Act and RA 8550, also known as the Philippine Fisheries Code.
