The petitions were filed by the Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas and environmental group Kalikasan People’s Network for the Environment at the Supreme Court.

During the said period, the petitioners claim that Executive Order 74 was in effect or when a holistic approach, cumulative impacts assessment, and reclamation development plans are required before the issuance of ECC, AC and Notice to Proceed in reclamation applications.
“Nagpasya na ang mga mangingisda at makakalikasan na itaas sa Korte Suprema ang aming hinaing laban sa mga mapaminsalang reklamasyon at dredging sa Manila Bay,” Ronnel Arambulo, Pamalakaya vice chairman said in a statement.
