DENR: Private sector to help fund Manila Bay cleanup
Excerpt
Certain industries have offered to help the government fund the rehabilitation of Manila Bay, Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu said. Without naming the companies, Cimatu said their heads have also offered to come up with suggestions on how to go about the bay’s cleanup. “We will meet with them on Jan. 15. We will present to them the existing problems in Manila Bay as well as the possible solutions,” the environment chief said at a recent press briefing. The official earlier described the rehabilitation of Manila Bay as a difficult challenge, but worth taking nonetheless.
