local.seafdecaqd.extractThe Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said water quality of major outfalls directly draining to Manila Bay significantly improved, a year after the previously polluted watershed started to be rehabilitated. Citing latest data from the Department's Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu said coliform levels in the Manila Bay have "drastically decreased" compared to the extremely high fecal coliform amount recorded prior to the rehabilitation program which began January 26 last year. According to Cimatu, the EMB findings showed a lower fecal coliform count at the Padre Faura outfall which is now at 920,000 most probable number per 100 milliliters (mpn/100ml) from its pre-rehab record of 7.21 million mpn/100ml.en
