  • SC urged to cite DENR in contempt over sand dumping
    Requejo, Rey E.; Casas, Willie (Philippine Manila Standard Publishing, Inc., 2020-09-24)
    The Supreme Court has been asked to cite the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in contempt for allegedly dumping dolomite sand on Manila Bay, a move complainants said was a direct violation of the high court’s continuing mandamus order for state agencies to clean up and rehabilitate the bay. 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.
