No to reclamation, yes to decongestion
Excerpt
We have a national treasure in Manila Bay, but we have allowed it to rot through years and years of neglect and wanton disregard. Now we have a President who wants it cleaned up and restored to old glory. That is not an easy task. In fact, if seriously pursued, it will take not just the remaining years of this administration; it will require maybe two or three more presidencies with the same political will and determination to sustain whatever gains the process of rehabilitation will require.
