DILG convenes today 178 mayors to discuss Manila Bay rehab
Excerpt
As the “Battle of Manila Bay” goes into high gear, the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) will convene Monday 178 city and municipal mayors to spell out to them their critical roles and responsibilities in the rehabilitation of Manila Bay. DILG Secretary Eduardo M. Año added the forum aims to keep the local chief executives (LCE) abreast of their roles in rehabilitating Manila Bay under the Supreme Court Mandamus. “Local government units (LGUs) should be at the forefront of efforts to clean-up, rehabilitate, and preserve the waters of Manila Bay. They should, therefore, be more proactive in encouraging the support and cooperation of their constituents and other stakeholders to bring back the glory of Manila Bay,” said Año.
