The Metro Manila Development Authority announced on Wednesday it has collected at total of 3,018 cubic meters of rubbish and silt from Roxas Boulevard and waterways as part of the Manila Bay Rehabilitation project in nearly four months. In its summary of accomplishment from Jan. 27 to May 17, the MMDA’s Flood Control and Sewerage Management Office said the buildup of trash and silt is equivalent to 400 truckloads. Covered by the FCSMO’s clearing operation were shores of Manila Bay on Roxas Boulevard, Estero San Antonio de Abad, Tripa De Gallina, Padre Faura Drainage Main, Remedios Drainage Main and some drainage laterals.
