Manila Bay 'White Sand' Critics to File Writ of Kalikasan Vs Dolomite Dumping
19 SEPTEMBER 2020, Saturday Headline STRATEGIC September 19, 2020 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 2 Opinion Page Feature Article DENR Leads International Coastal Cleanup Day Friday, September 18, 2020 People's Tonight DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu THE Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will lead today, Sept. 19, 2020, its yearly coastal cleanup but with no large gatherings and fewer volunteers to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). According to Secretary Roy Cimatu, unlike in previous years, there will be no large gatherings this time at the traditional shoreline and creek sites to prevent the transmission of the virus that has already claimed hundreds of thousand lives and transmission to more than a million others. The Philippines has been an active participant of the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) Day – a global campaign to protect the ocean and its inhabitants. To mark the local observance, Cimatu said there will be lesser attendees composed mostly government employees who will convene along the coast of the historical Manila Bay on Roxas Boulevard. Volunteers have been encouraged to follow the government’s health protocols others were told to conduct clean-at-home efforts by reducing plastic waste. Cimatu stressed that an individual’s duty to keep the shorelines, rivers and waterways clean does not stop even with the pandemic – a task every Juan dela Cruz should take on every single day. The Environment head gave emphasis on proper disposal of coronavirus wastes, such as single-use face masks and gloves, which have become a new form of pollution threatening marine life and ecosystems.

Old Street Names of Manila Several Streets of Manila Have Been Renamed Through the Years, Sometimes Without Regar
4/30/2016 Angkan ng Leon Mercado at Emiliana Sales Yahoo Groups Old Street Names of Manila Several streets of Manila have been renamed through the years, sometimes without regard to street names as signpost to history. For historian Ambeth Ocampo, old names of the streets of Manila , “in one way reaffirmed and enhanced our culture.” Former names of some streets in Binondo were mentioned by Jose Rizal in his novels. Calle Sacristia (now Ongpin street ) was the street where Rizal’s leading character Crisostomo Ibarra walked the old Tiniente back to his barracks. The house of rich Indio Don Capitan Tiago de los Santos was located in Calle Anloague (now Juan Luna). Only a century ago, the surrounding blocks of Malate and Ermita were traverse only by Calle Real (now M.H. del Pilar Street ) and Calle Nueva (now A Mabini Street ) that followed the curve of the Bay and led to Cavite ’s port. Today’s Roxas Boulevard was underwater then. Along the two main roads were houses and rice fields punctuated by the churches of Malate and Ermita and the military installations like Plaza Militar and Fort San Antonio Abad. After the FilipinoAmerican War, new streets were laid out following the Burnham Plan. In Malate for instance, streets were named after the US states that sent volunteers to crush Aguinaldo’s army. Today, those streets were renamed after Filipinos patriots some became key players in Aguinaldo’s government. It is fascinating to learn that Manila ’s rich heritage is reflected in its streets. Below is a list of current street names and the little history behind it: Andres Soriano Avenue in Intramuros was formerly called theAduana, after the Spanish custom house whose ruins stand on the street.
