| local.seafdecaqd.extract | “Never doubt for a single moment that a handful of thoughtful and committed men and women can change the world…. Let it be said that in our time and during our watch, we did our share… And maybe, just maybe, we make a little difference” – these were the words of Tony Oposa, conceptualizer and counsel of the Manila Bay project that was recently launched with a Unity Walk for the Rehabilitation of Manila Bay. Organized by the Manila Yacht Club and the Rotary Club, it started from the Quirino Grandstand to the streets of Roxas Boulevard. Some 6,000 volunteers joined the walk in support of the 13 government agencies which had been issued a mandamus to clean up the bay. The agencies, which included the DENR, DILG, DOH, DBM, DepEd, DA (Fisheries), Maritime Police, Ports Authority, MWSS, LWUA, MMDA, etc., were ordered to spearhead efforts to involve other groups to support this cause. President Duterte approved earlier this month the project prepared by DENR and allocated P42.95 billion for the implementation of the project within three to seven years. | en |
