Sa kabila ng buhos ng batikos, sa ngayon ay suportado ni Manila Mayor Isko Moreno ang isinasagawang pagtatambak ng synthetic white sand ng Department of Environment sa Manila Bay baywalk. BASAHIN:

MANILA — Manila City Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagaso on Friday said he would not oppose the dumping of synthetic white sand on the capital city's baywalk, owing to the expertise of the environment department.

Moreno said that the said agency, mandated to protect the environment, will not be responsible for polluting the nature. The city mayor said that it is best it there will be someone on watch on how the synthetic white sand will affect the area especially during typhoons. “If you put white sand in that place, chances are during storms and during high tide, when the waves are high… all of the sand will be washed out and transported,” University of the Philippines Resilience Institute executive director Mahar Lagmay earlier told ANC."We will continue to clean all those solid waste materials within our territorial jurisdiction," he said.
