UP Marine Science Institute director Dr Laura David says the project's site itself is prone to erosion, and that storm events will only aggravate the situation. FULL STORY:

The dolomite sand dumped on Manila Baywalk is highly probable to drift to the sea, a marine scientist said, after an environment official claimed only 10% of the white sand was swept to the sea after recent weather disturbances.

In a recent report from GMA News, Department of Natural Resources and Environment Undersecretary Jonas Leones explained on Monday, October 26, that black sand covered the white sand after heavy rainfall in Manila. The baywalk shore is made up of both layers of black sand and white dolomite sand, Leones said. Beyond the project’s site is the black sand which washed up on shore during the height of Typhoon Quinta, covering the white sand.,” the DENR official said.

UP Marine Science Institute director Dr Laura David said that the project’s location is “a site of current convergence with high likelihood of erosion even during calm days.” The site itself is prone to erosion, and David said, storm events will only aggravate the situation. To fix the problem of erosion, the DENR plans to put dolomite sand in the water so the white sand would be washed onto the beach instead.“Dolomite has relatively high density and would more likely settle at the bottom before getting washed out eventually,” she said.

Money pa more going to their pockets malaking BS...

Bakit ba kasi ipinipilit yan? Sabi na ngang mangrove ang itanim dyan! bopol

Oh my gash! Nakakabaliw kayo sa katangahan!

Itigil na nyo iyan dolomite na yan, sayang ang pera, sa basura na lang kayo mag-concentrate papaano nyo matitigil ang katigasan ng ulo ng mga nagtatapon ng basura, eskuwater, etc!

Ngayon di lng diretso sayang/tapon ng pera!!!!

Wala tlgang pag asa itong mga ito, pinipilit pa rin , anu mga DDS tatanga tanga pa din!?!? Sukdulang pang GAGAGO na ito uy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mga ogag tlga !!!!!!!!!!!!

This is just putting stupid on top of stupid.

Hahaha.. the PH government is once again tricking the Filipino people. Quietly doing your reclamation project, I see. Which Chinese company is partnering on this?! Hoy Duterte, sumagot ka. Nyeta!

Ipapilit🙄

Stupidy comes first for this administration! Trying to find solution for your first stupid action!😡

Ang tanga lang kung sinong nka isip nyan.

How much did the Phils spend for this project? And why dis we have to do it? What was the purpose? Parang hindi natin matandaan kasi sandali lang naglaho na lahat ng pangarap sa project na ito! Sana pinagisipan mabuti!

Because they presume to be expert neglecting the suggestion of real experts.thats what you called PRIDE.

uyyyyy kano naman porsyento sa katangahang ito?

It is not natural so whatever you do the sea would take it back.

Sana all bobo😂

Push pa more... corruption pa more! 👊🏼💩

Tuloy tuloy lang ninyo yan... Ma nanawa at ma nanawa rin kayo sa kakaayos.... Dagat. Dagat dumi ng dagat. At responsible na Pilipino ang solution kahit Grade 1 yan ang isasagot sa inyo........

Kahit pa po isang bundok ng dolomite ang ilagay nyo sa ilalim ng dagat, masmadami pa din ung itim na buhangin. Baka pwede naman po ung pera ng taong-bayan eh gamitin para sa mga taong matatalino at marunong gumamit ng utak. Salamat.

Sobrang obvious nmn n nito.. na talagang for reclamation yan para pag tayuan ng mga buildings. Ipipilit pa din talaga..

wow!!!! the level of STUPIDITY

tanga

How about remove the water? 🤣 🤣 🤣

I bet even with antiporda's loud mouth he can't prevent the dolomite sand from being washed away. Oi, can we put blabbermouth antiporda on top of Quezon bridge and scream away typhoon Rolly? Maybe just maybe that dipshit can be of use now.

hahahaha....natatawa na lang talaga ako😊😊😊😊

kapit dolomites para di mapahiya mga tangang dds

These guys are like ostriches burying their heads in that sand. Stupider and stupider.

Ang bobo nila sa department no? Ghads!

DENR:

PrayForDolomite sad RIP byebye

sino ba naman kasing TANGA ang nag appoint ng isa pang TANGA na mamuna ng DENR

these sweet little tiny kids will always go back to mama..

tan2sy It's not only the dolomites what's being drifted out to sea, Also don't forget those senseless projects in this time of need like the 4x4 SUV's of DepEd. Anu mag off-road ba mga guro natin? hahaha

Si Antiporda & Leonos lng naniniwala na nadadagdagan pa ng black sand or may wash in dyan. Ang laki na nga kinata nyo dyan hindi pa rin nyo tanggapin na tama ang experts. Tangga lng tlaga, nakakainis kayo.

or washed inland as had happened during a storm surge in mindoro after a battering from quinta.

sayang pera

Isuko nyo na yan. That's a losing battle.

Of course into the sea where else it will go? Air? 🤪

Halatang mauubos yan at magkaiba ng kulay. Alamin nga ang love affair ng waves at sand.

Can't believe that they wasted millions for this useless project. Sana itinulong nalang muna nila sa mahihirap na pamilya yung pera. Or just use the money for clean-up drives

tatakdds

Tax!😭

dapat kasi hindi nila inalis yung basura kasi mabuti yun sa health ayan tuloy kinukulit kayo ng mga banggaw na expert daw na laging may reklamo hindi naman kumikilos.

Magkano budget for the maintenance of dolomite sand?

Violent reactions heading your way .... 🤣

We are so thankful of cleaning the Manila Bay but putting some dolmite is like ur putting another money into nothing

Isama na yan sa lessons learned, DENROfficial o kung sinu man may project nito.

In DENR lingo, mawa-‘wash in’ sa tubig 🤡

Matigas ang ulo ng mga walang alam diyan sa denr paano kaya gagawin diyan sa mga iyan lalo at mukhang pera lang ang dahilan ng paglagay nila ng dolomite diyan

I wish the Dolomites are like the dds that can be drifted out to the sea too!

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.. Du🐢 promised us the best and the brightest, but results speaks for themselves.. kawawang Pilipinas 😥😢😢

You know what would help? Mangroves...oh yeah DENR shot that down too, oh well

BrujaDelDemonio aggravate from this?

Usec. Buni Antipunga and DDS be like:

Poor Antiporda 🤪
