    Excerpt
    A total of 95 towns and cities within the Manila Bay watershed area have not complied with environmental laws, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) said yesterday. DILG Secretary Eduardo Año said the number comprises 53 percent of the 178 local government units (LGUs) from Metro Manila, Central Luzon and Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon), according to the assessments and on-site inspections by their regional-interagency committee in 2018. The LGUs, Año said, failed to hit the indicators gauging their compliance with existing environmental laws, with 16 having the worst problems.
