The Department of Information and Communications Technology will provide closed-circuit television cameras and monitoring sensors for the rehabilitation of the Manila Bay. DICT Acting Secretary Eliseo Rio Jr. said that sensors would be used for monitoring the water pollution level in the bay. “The coliform content of the Manila Bay is around 300 million [MPN] per 100 mL and it should be reduced to 100 MPN only. What can the DICT do about this? We will be putting up sensors here so that the coliform level can be monitored by the Office of Secretary Cimatu,” Rio said in his speech during the launching of the Manila Bay rehabilitation program on Sunday.
