Binay: Dolomite beach not part of 2008 SC writ of mandamus
Excerpt
The Supreme Court did not order the government to rehabilitate Manila Bay by dumping crushed dolomite on the artificial white sand beach that the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) created on a 500-meter portion of the bay’s coastline, Sen. Nancy Binay said on Friday. “The [high court’s] mandamus order is intended to clean the water and not to create [artificial] beach in Manila Bay,” Binay reminded Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu, referring to the Supreme Court’s 2008 ruling that directed 13 government agencies to clean up Manila Bay.
