Mayors have key role in Bay rehabilitation
Excerpt
The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) called a meeting last Monday of mayors of Metro Manila and other towns and cities in the provinces around Manila Bay as part of the total effort to clean it up after many long years of inaction that led to its present state of degradation. DILG Secretary Eduardo Ano said 178 mayors were asked to attend the meeting. There was yet no specific plan of action for the mayors. The meeting was just an initial effort by the DILG to support the rehabilitation program led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) headed by Secretary Roy Cimatu.
