Dolomite threat may force people to stop visiting Manila Bay – solon
House Deputy Minority leader and Probinsyano Ako partylist Rep. Jose “Bonito” Singson Jr. said the public health dangers aired by medical experts against the dumping of crushed dolomite at Manila Bay is worrisome that people, already distressed by the COVID-19 threat, will stop promenading the area.
“Yorme Isko must realize that people stopped going to Manila Bay because the stink of garbage and human waste have become unbearable. I don’t see any reason why they would start going back there if what they will get is a whiff of cancerous fumes,” the lawmaker said. Singson agreed that the rehabilitation of Manila Bay is of utmost importance but stressed that this should not come at the expense of public health and wanton wastage of people’s money.
Singson said it has become a puzzle to many Filipinos why Moreno and proponents of the project continue to defend it despite the fact that public opinion has weighed heavily against it.
