“You must know, Manila Bay can never be
improved by Cimatu. All he can do is [to] reduce the contamination,” Duterte
said.
“Why? Because there is no water
treatment. Until now, all the wastewater is blown every day to the Manila Bay,”
he added.
The Chief

its current state.

one who got the contract of water sewerage which is the two companies,” Duterte
said.
It was in January of last year, that the president ordered the
massive clean up of Manila Bay to protect it to further contamination.
Duterte signed Administrative Order No. 16, he also created
the MBTF in February 2019 to expedite the rehabilitation and restoration of the
coastal and marine ecosystem of the garbage-littered shoreline
