Mayor Isko: Call other LGUs’ attention to clean Manila Bay
Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso on Wednesday appealed to the public to call the attention of other local government units to clean the Manila Bay.In an online forum, Domagoso said members of the city government pick up garbage from the two-kilometer stretch of Manila Bay every day. However, some of the garbage that ended up at their turf may have also drifted from other areas.
“Huwag niyong alalahanin ‘yung less than two-kilometer length. ‘Yung alalahanin niyo, Manila Bay ,” he said. “I am definite, wala kaming palaisdaan, wala kaming fish cages, at hindi pwedeng ikubli ‘yung mga styro at net at kawayan na nadudurog kapag malakas ang alon o may bagyo sa Metro Manila or a portion of those provinces,” he added.According to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources , the Manila Bay area covers eight provinces and 178 LGUs in three regions of the country.
The Manila mayor also cited the Supreme Court Mandamus on Manila Bay, directing 13 government agencies to rehabilitate and preserve Manila Bay and improve its water quality to make it fit for recreation activities. But Domagoso stressed that they will continue their clean-up operations along Manila Bay, regardless of where the garbage came from.
