As the world celebrates International Coastal Cleanup Day, personnel of various government agencies and members of private organizations gathered in Manila Bay to collect trash in the area.
Several people and vloggers also flocked to the area’s baywalk during its temporary opening to experience the “white sand” seemingly paying no mind to the country’s rising coronavirus cases. The “sand,” which is crushed dolomite, was spread as part of Manila Bay’s rehabilitation efforts and cost P28 million.
The event was attended by MMDA Chairman Danny Lim, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu, DOLE Secretary Silvestre Bello III, DSWD Secretary Rolando Bautista, Chairperson of the Commission on Higher Education Prospero De Vera, and Cavite 4th District Representative Elpidio Barzaga Jr.
While a portion of the baywalk will be open to the public during the weekend, swimming is still prohibited in the area due to pollution concerns.
