Dredging works in Manila Bay will begin soon as water quality tests in the bay have been completed, the Department of Public Works and Highways announced Friday. Results of the water survey will determine the amount of material that will be removed from the bay, according to Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar. “Our Bureau of Equipment has conducted bathymetric or depth measurement survey, water quality test, and ocular inspection at Manila Bay and Navotas River. The result of these surveys will be the basis of dredging activities in the coming weeks,” Villar said.
