The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will look into the reported discoloration of the waters of Manila Bay last week once the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) over Luzon is lifted by Malacañang. Environment Secretary Roy A. Cimatu, acting on complaints reaching his office, conducted a site inspection along Roxas Boulevard on March 28. Last week, a netizen uploaded a video of the historic bay with turquoise blue waters in the social-media platform Facebook after noticing the change of its color.
