"He was referring to the Manila Bay Coordinating Office, an agency under the DENR that should coordinate with all offices and agencies involved in the rehabilitation, restoration, and conservation of Manila Bay.During Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque’s briefing on Tuesday, Environment Undersecretary Benny Antiporda admitted that the DENR had some lapses in imposing safety protocols at the dolomite beach on Sunday. But he also insisted that they were able to keep things under control.
He said they implemented a “five-minute rule,” where only 300 to 400 people were allowed to enter at a single time and the next batch can only come in five minutes after the previous batch entered. Antiporda added that the IATF decided only on Monday, October 25, that kids below 11 would no longer be allowed to enter the controversial beach. He clarified that they had let children inside the dolomite beach premises because the IATF had allowed kids in public spaces.
