DENR: All systems go for Manila Bay rehab
Excerpt
It’s all systems go for the start of the rehabilitation of the Manila Bay today, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said yesterday. The launch of the project dubbed “Battle for Manila Bay” is expected to bring together more than 5,000 participants, mostly personnel from the DENR and 12 other government agencies tasked by the Supreme Court to clean up Manila Bay. “This is a battle that will be won not with force of arms but with the firm resolve to bring Manila Bay back to life,” Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu said in a statement.
