Department of Environment and Natural Resources Undersecretary Jonas Leones said Thursday that they have been informed that the DPWH will build a breakwater in addition to geotubes, or the huge, durable plastic filled with sand that was already placed in the perimeter of the shore to ensure that the crushed dolomite will remain intact despite the current.

“Ang purpose noon is similar to the geotubes, to caution the strong waves or strong waves na papalo doon sa beach area na ‘yun,” he also said.

Go Rolly! Go Siony! Let it flow, let it flow...dolomite will be gone tomorrow...

sobra BOBO at TANGA ang DPWH meron b utak na kailangan ng breakwater sa maluhong walang kwentang dolomite na inaanod ng tubig ng manila bay lalo kpg bagyo. paminsan minsan gamitin nio utak kc taxpayers' money ang winawaldas nio. NasaanAngPangulo

Kailangan pa pag ibayuhin o malawak na pag kokontrasyon para hindi masayang ang pinag paguran...godbless po.

Hahahahahahahaha

Gastos na naman ... Sempre saan kukuha panggastos ? Mangungutang na naman ... Sino magbabayad ng utang ... Tayong mga mamamayan ... Sad life sa Pilipinas.😢😢😢

It's gonna be endless Paper Money!

Hndi ko talaga maisip ang value nito. Inilagay ito sa Manila Bay na hindi pwedeng liguan. Pinag-aksayahan ng pera ng bayan. Ang simpleng tao naiisip ang kawalan ng saysay nito pero bakit ang mga matatalino,isinulong talaga.

wait till someone files a graft case against you people in denr/dpwh. seriously gagastusin niyo taxes namin dyan sa kapiranggot na parte ng manila bay na yan? no wonder why people dont want to pay their taxes.

Sabay inamin washed out, kala ko ba washed in? Hahahaha. Ge ipilit nyo pa, tutal kayo lang naman nakikinabang sa taxes na binabayad at pinaghihirapan naming mga mamamayan. Buset na gobyerno to. 🤣🤣🤣

The st*pidity of this government doesn't end. Wasting so much money where so many Filipinos are in need.

Wala pang pasko pero yung dolomite sa Manila bay parang mga ninong at ninang ko na; nagsisialisan at nagsisitaguan na. Natatakot cguro na makita ko sila 🤭

Tanginang mundo to

ilipat jan ang mega dike sa pampanga

This year's 'white elephant' with its proponents trying to correct their mistake by throwing more money out to sea!

Breakwater should have been constructed first before dumping the white sand. This clearly shows how twisted the implementers of this project are.

How MANY MORE MILLION$$ will Villar’s DPWH spend to “fix” the Dolomite FIASCO that Cimatu’s DENR wasted P400 MILLION on It can only mean MoreKickbacksBeforeChristmas

Haaaay, you shouldnt have placed dolomite there in the first place.. wala namang added value talaga e, hindi naman nakatulong sa environment, ginastos nyo lang ung pera ng taxpayers!!! And now this!!! 😤😤😤

Lagyan na lang nila ng mataas na mataas na embankment!

samanta mga taong asa navotas at malabon lubog sa tubig hindi magawan na breakwater!

:(

Lynching7 happy kaba na mag construct daw sila ng breakwater Barrier. I know that you are so concerned about the manila bay and dolomite. Para kanang mamatay pag na washed out. Dito na umiikot ang buhay mo.

Rolly is waving this weekend

So another gastos ulet dahil sa walang kwentang gastos na inumpisahan nyo. Basta taong bayan magbabayad noh Sige lang ng sige. 😣😠

Puro kayo gastos dapat lang dyan e I maintain ang pag dami ng inaanod na basura hindi yung another break water grabe mga utak nyo

do not insist on spending more money to preserve the dolomite. napakamangmang nating mga tao para maunawaan ang tunay na kalikasan.

That's how expensive cover up is. The only way you can regain ur dignity if you have is bury your head in that white dolomite sand, foeveeeeeeeeer

again....waste of taxpayers money. di na sila naubusan ng ideya para kumita. tsk tsk

Buti nman correct term na gnamit nyo Inquiredr ,malalagot kc kau kay Antiporda pg cnb nyo na nman na wash in eh wash out daw tlg un eh 😂😂😂😂

Nkadagdag pa sa problema/gagastusan ang dolomites na proud na proud ang mga DDS dhil mkakatulong daw sa turismo ng bansa. 😂😂 Bilib na bilib na tlg ako sa administrasyon at mga minions neto. 😂😂🤣

Hahahaha! Ano ba ang matibay sa tubig dagat? Lumalabo na talaga pagiisip ng mga ito! Mga utak🦟!👎🏿👎🏿

Ang Luho ng Gobyernong ito! Sobrang gastos pero wala naman sa lugar ang pinag aaksayahan ng pera! Sinasayang nyo pera ng taong bayan! Bwisit!

Another budget again?

Waste of money...

stupiditydotcom

Plus lang ang katangahan

Hahahaha so gagastos na naman ang taong bayan para sa breakwater? 😂 geez these people in the govt dont know how to prioritize! Have they helped the victims of Yolanda like they should have-housing water electricity roads etc? Baka unahin pa Marawi **facepalm** 😳

after the fact? morons.

Another 380 million for that shitty breakwater!! This shows that duterte and the current government is a total comedy show run by morons 👍👍 rapplerdotcom cnnphilippines Tanginamoduterte OustDuterteNOW

Dubuque.. please tell them wasting tax. For gods sake.. are Filipinos that manhid na sakagahaman ng administration na ito

Madami pang mas magandang gawin kesa yan. Papasikat nanaman kayo sa media.

Wag na kayo mag sayang ng pera

Kasubuan na, pagpilitan na un maling diskarte. lubuslubusin na un gastos total di naman nila pera yan...

What we could have used instead RIGHT NOW:

Sayang lang yan

Another delihensya to maintain. Tigas kasi ng mga kapalmuks na Eddie at Boy Porsyentos. Was not this karate move taken into consideration? They knew this would happen. kapalmuks goNegosyosaGobyerno

Itigil na yan.

Wow di daw ma-washed away ah pero mag construct ng breakwater para maprotect. Sana di pera ng taong bayan yang gagastusin nyo try nyo kayang gastusin ung sariling pera nyo total ginusto nyo yan at nang manghinayang din kayo.

Stop

I think so much taxpayer’s money ay nasasayang becoz of this dolomite sand.. pde po gumising na DENR officials? So much money and time are wasted..

DPWH baka pwede tapusin muna lahat ng farm to market road lalo na dito sa probinsya dami dami nio pala budget

Gagastusan na nman yan pra lang patunayan na hindi sila sablay....maawa nman kayo sa bayan natin. Hindi masama umamin na nagkamali... consult the experts pls.

another poor planning from this administration.🤑

More damage and more money

But didn’t antiporda keep saying it wasn’t being washed out? Sabi nya washed in. So why build a breakwater now?

Hala sige protect dolomite dami pera ang Pinas eh noh?..habang lockdown,wala pa work,bagsak ekonomi¥a..haiiist....

PADER. pader ang kelangan palibot ng dolomite.

Throwing good money after bad. The stupidity is as deep as the ocean. WhiteSandScandal

sige lang tuloy nyo yang breakwater na yan to serve as a living monument ng katangahan ng DPWH/DENR at kung paano nila winaldas ang pera ng bayan...

Huwag n

save dolomite not manila bay

I mean, there are departments who are cutting off budget and then we are seeing DPWH and DENR wasting money over something that won't outlive them.

This is not about the rehabilitation of manila bay anymore, it's about keeping the dolomite from washing away just to prove the project wasnt a waste of money. 😩

gastos pa nga mga tanga talaga

Buti pa yung sand pinoprotektahan. Mas pinaglalaban pa ang buhangin ano po. Kaway kaway na lng sa mamamayan.

Gastos kayo na gastos tapos utang na utang, aba magaling!

They will build an oversized sandbox, way to go dpwh einsteins’!

This is like a bad lie. You create more lies to support the first one.

Yey.. Ang yaman tagala ng Pinas.. Sabi ng barbero sa kanto

Another hundred million bucks for this project.

shungang gobyerno. try nyo kaya tumambay dyan sa kasagsagan ng rolly nang magka ideya kayo gaano kataas hampas ng alon pag may bagyo. muntanga

Use the tax fund to protect the people, not the Dolomite! 🙃

Yun kayang sabaw,sa utak nyo ang lagyan byo ng breakwater. Ano ang silbi ng dolomite para pagkaabalahaan at gastusan ng milyon-milyon? Baka you just want to fill your pockets with money out of our taxes. Sobrang garapal nyo huh!🙄

and next time, there will be a need to protect the breakwater, which is protecting the dolomite..... so easy to make and waste money

What a joke! This could have been the better plan early on if we're talking about mitigating the impacts of high tides or storm surges. Aesthetic is but secondary to the protective feature of any project. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Tantananan nyo na ang pera ng bayan! Wag lang mapahiya sa pantangang ginawa pipilitin pa rin gawan ng paraan?

Para saan? Para pangatawanan ang isang pagkakamali? Kung may breakwater na jan, gaano kasure na di na washout eh pag malakas ang bagyo, ang lakas ng alon jan eh mas mataas pa sa mga puno sa bangketa. Sayang na naman pera. Parang awa nyo na, tama na!

Another 300m for reinforcement?💩💩💩

they spent money on sand. and will be spending money again, this time desperately trying to save the bloody sand. the sand has more rights than the souls lost from his “drug war”. this country need some serious soul searching.

I'm looking forward to the UP analysis of the 'black sand' where they find that it's actually sand at all, but oily fecal sediment.

Why are they spending insane amounts on this when we clearly need budget for Health.

Protect corrupt practices. Nobody does it better than this govt.

hahahaha, si kupal antiporma ang bahala dyan kasi pinagaralan nman daw nila yan!

Congratulations, Philippines! You vote for trash, you get trash! IDIOTerteRegime ChangeIsScamming DiehardDolomiteSupporters DDSalot

Gastos na naman Aba aba aba tax ng taong bayan yan...bat di nyo nlng padevelop sa private company kung may gustong mag invest jan sa Manila Bay? Tama na pleassseeeee

Might as well turn it into a giant sandbox.

Was there a study and plan for this project in the first place? Construction of a breakwater could have been part of the plan if there was a study.

So ngayon gagastos pa ulit para sa breakwater para lang huwag maubos ang dolomite? Na alam naman naten na mauubos over time? Tapos tatambakan ulit ng dolomite hanggang maubos ang bundok? Eh kung babaan na lang kya ego ng DENR? Mas mura yun.
