The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is now identifying those responsible for the illegal drainage system discovered near Manila Bay.
The inspection of the department unearthed that several establishments are directly disposing dirty water into the bay. This has a heavy impact on the rehabilitation of Manila Bay.
They have already been issued a warning of possible business closure and were given two days to fix their drainage system. The city government is also prepared to impose sanctions on the establishments.
“Kung ano man po ang (whatever the) findings ng (of) DENR, we will take note of it and we will cooperate with the national government with regards to implementation ng ating (of our) preservation ng ating (of our) environment,” Manila PIO Chief Julius Leonen stated. – Report from Louisa Erispe
