    Bondoc, Jarius (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2019-01-18)

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. Yet Manila Bay bacteria back then was already an alarming one million units per cubic meter.
