    The Manila Bay crisis
    de Guzman, Sara Soliven (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2019-02-24)
    The recent photos taken of Manila Bay showed the beautiful sunset and happy people strolling by the bay and a few even bold enough to take a dip in the seemingly clean waters. But the real clean up hasn’t even started. Let’s not get too excited over this initial feat. There’s still a lot of work to be done. Remember Manila Bay waters is worst than Boracay.

    How to rehab Manila Bay- earth lawyer Oposa
    Bondoc, Jarius (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2019-01-18)
    Twenty years ago this month a band of law students and conscientious citizens filed an ambitious lawsuit to make the government clean up Manila Bay. At the time, Jan. 1999, people already were complaining about the stench, litter, and color of the water. For water to be swimmable, bacteria level must be no more than 100 units per cubic meter, says environment lawyer Tony Oposa.

    Boracay's environmental woes
    Angelo, F. Allan L. (Daily Guardian Multi-Media Services, Inc., 2018-05-05)
    Some dimwits online and elsewhere are trying to make light of Boracay Island’s environmental problems by spewing fallacies. One hilarious fallacy or lie is that lumot or green algae that bloom in the island’s shoreline are a good indication and essential to the beach area because it is the main source of the famed white sand. What?! Any kid in elementary or high school will tell these dimwits that lumot or green algae serve as food for marine life and an indicator of ecological balance or the lack of it.
