Several ranking lawmakers have expressed House support to the P384-million Manila Bay project and that they see no valid objection to it, with one of them asserting that the use of dolomite to beautify the shoreline could even help clean the bay waters. But Cavite Rep. Elpidio Barzaga, chairman of the House committee on natural resources on Thursday said he would press for an investigation if the issue were referred to his committee. “As long as there is an issue, we shall act on it. The investigation will provide the oppositors and the DENR (Department of Environment and Natural Resources) to present their sides as part of due process,” Barzaga said.
