Cimatu to barangay leaders: Cleaning Manila Bay is your most important mission
Excerpt
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Roy Cimatu has called on barangay leaders to do their share in the Manila Bay rehabilitation by cleaning up waterways, rivers, and tributaries that flow into the heavily polluted body of water. Aside from Cimatu, the meeting was also attended by other officials of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). Cimatu reminded barangay officials of their duty to enforce environmental laws, particularly the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 and the Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004.
