lose to 10,000 commercial establishments around Manila Bay have been inspected since the bay’s rehabilitation program was launched a year ago, according to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The Environmental Management Bureau said of the 9,708 commercial establishments, 2,478 were issued notices of violations and 107 were slapped with cease and desist orders.
