The Department of Environment and Natural Resources has warned of the potential closure of establishments along the shores of Manila Bay—where the setting sun for years has been a perfect postcard frame—that do not comply with environmental regulations. Members of the Department of Public Service-Manila City Hall (inset) gather to the shoreline the garbage dumped by heavy rains in recent weeks. Authorities want the extent of Manila Bay pollution—115 million most probable number fecal coliform bacteria in 2016—reduced in 2019.
