Modern-day ‘Battle for Manila Bay’ starts
Excerpt
It’s all systems go for the “Battle for Manila Bay.” Unlike the historic combat that involved ships, cannons, and guns, this modern-day battle will be waged against waste and pollution in the bay famous for its golden sunset. On Sunday, various government agencies led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will kick off the ambitious rehabilitation project, which seeks to restore the heavily polluted bay to its former glory.
