  • SC urged to cite DENR in contempt over sand dumping
    Requejo, Rey E.; Casas, Willie (Philippine Manila Standard Publishing, Inc., 2020-09-24)

In a 16-page motion, the Akbayan Citizens’ Action Party through its chairman emeritus Etta Rosales sought to intervene in the more than 10 year-old mandamus case pertaining to the rehabilitation of the Manila Bay. The party-list group said dolomite sand is hazardous to health and the environment.

  • Pollution lang ang dolomite
    Valmonte, 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.
