The sun rises on Manila Bay: How Manila Bay is going to be saved, one day at a time
Excerpt
A woman in her 50s remembers the time their pilot-father would take the family out for a drive along Roxas Boulevard, roll down the windows, and tell them, “breath in your vitamins, breathe in the air.” They would stay for a couple of hours on the shores of Manila Bay, letting the sun provide some vitamin D. Another longtime Manileño reminisces the time he would go out fishing with his father on the far side of the breakwater of Manila Bay. Still, another recalls when families would take their children into the water to swim.
