Department of Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Roy Cimatu hopes that the sight of white sand beach made of dolomite sediments on the Manila Bay baywalk may help change people’s culture and behavior on waste management.“Napakahalaga na mabago ang kultura at pag-uugali ng mga tao upang tuluyang maisakatuparan ang rehabilitasyon ng Manila Bay ,” Cimatu said during the celebration of the International Coastal Cleanup Day held in Manila Saturday.
Cimatu reiterated that the beach nourishment project is critical in rehabilitating coastal areas, such as the Manila Bay, which are generally dynamic areas exposed to constant action of waves, current, tides, and wind. Cimatu said trash booms and silt curtains have been installed to prevent garbage from ending up along the baywalk area.
“The cleanup shall be continuing and sustained by reforming social attitude and behavior towards proactive environmental citizenship and institutionalizing this reforms culturally,” he added.
Manila Bay needs: 1. Relocation of informal settlers throwing waste to the sea 2. Waste water treatment plant from sewerage around the bay 3. Strict implementation of solid waste disposal laws WALANG white sand na kailangan. Mga tabogong DDS
