- Pollution lang ang dolomiteValmonte, Ric (Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation, 2020-09-21)Nakakuha kamakailan ng mga patay na isda na tinatayang 10 kilo ng Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) sa tubig ng Manila Bay sa lugar malapit sa Baseco, Maynila. Nangyari ito sa gitna ng kontrobersiya hinggil sa ginagawa ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) na pagpapapaputi ng baybayin ng Manila Bay sa pamamagitan ng pagtatambak ng dinurog na dolomite malapit sa Baywalk, sa kahabaan ng Roxas Boulevard. Ayon kay DENR Undersecretary Benny Antiporda, walang kaugnayan ang kanilang proyekto sa naganap na fish kill.
- Groups seek deeper probe into Manila Bay's beach nourishment' initiativeMayuga, Jonathan L. (Philippine Business Daily Mirror Publishing, Inc., 2020-09-08)At least 10 environmental and cause-oriented groups on Wednesday called for an investigation into the controversial “beach nourishment” project at a portion of Manila Bay’s shoreline. The call for the probe was contained in a position paper sent to Environment Secretary Roy A. Cimatu, Agriculture Secretary William Dar, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Director Eduardo Gongona, and the Senate and House of Representatives, in the exercise of their oversight powers and the Office of the Ombudsman. The group also prodded Manila Mayor Francisco Domagoso, Sangguniang Panlungsod ng Manila and Chairman Rene Escalante of the National Historical Commission (NHC) to investigate the violations committed by the proponents of the project.
