The cleaning or we should say - rehabilitating of the Manila Bay
has become viral.
Days after the mass clean up of the world famous Philippine
landmark, news from the provinces conducting their own clean up drive has
begun. News from Bataan and Bulacan that their local Department of Environment
and Natural resources (DENR) and
respective local government units (LGU’s) have been doing their share in the clean
up.

Every act for mother nature makes a difference, over 700
volunteers flocked to the coastal areas of Sabang and Siren districts in
Tacloban city for a clean up activity spearheaded by their own LGU.
5 garbage trucks were hauled from the clean up drive which the
group aims to sustain every month.
Officials from the Eastern Visayas Tourism Association has called out other businesses to participate
in the clean up drive and make it part of their social responsibility.
“We can make this a regular activity for different groups whole
year round rather than just one big time. We can make a schedule or calendar of
activities wherein everyone who is willing to help can join,” Rhodel Ladera, Eastern Visayas Tourism Association ,Public Information Oficer said.
Bio fences were also installed in addition to the clean up along
the Mangon-bangon Bridge to prevent the wastes from going directly into the sea.

Chief has made a call to the local barangay officials in the area to be more actively involved in the clean up invoking their responsibilities under the Solid Waste Management Act (RA 9003).
“Sad to say these settlers kulang ng disiplina at walang pakialam,
tapos basta lang nagtatapon ng basura. They should implement the full force of
the law,” Macabenta said.
