The DENR will ask the city government of Manila to pass an ordinance declaring the entire stretch of Manila Bay’s Baywalk area a discipline zone to ensure it remains clean.
DENR Undersecretary Benny Antiporda said Sunday the agency will be sending a formal request to the office of Manila Mayor Francisco"Isko Moreno" Domagoso regarding the proposed ordinance.
“We will be sending a request to the Manila City government informing the mayor of what transpired, first. Second, seeking for his assistance in coming up with an ordinance that will declare the whole stretch of Manila Baywalk area as a discipline zone. And of course, necessary fines and penalties should be indicated also in the said ordinance,” the DENR official said in a virtual press conference.
Meanwhile, Antiporda said there has been a slowdown in filling Manila Bay’s shoreline with artificial white sand. Antiporda said the project has also been set back by delays in the delivery of the artificial white sand made from dolomite coming from Cebu.
