PHOTOGRAPH BY BOB DUNGO JR. FOR THE DAILY TRIBUNE @TRIBUNEPHL_BOB As hundreds of people troop to Roxas Boulevard for a chance to view the Manila Bay’s artificial white sand, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) reminded the public to avoid littering in the area. MMDA spokesperson Celine Pialago urged Filipinos to keep Manila Bay clean since the government has spent P389 million to rehabilitate the waterway. “Local tourists gather at the present Manila Bay to witness the beauty of the dolomite white sand, but we would like to remind them to avoid littering there,” Pialago said in an interview. “That portion of Manila Bay in front of the US Embassy was opened to the public, so the public can see this rehabilitation project. But it does not mean that picnics are allowed, so as to avoid garbage and trash there,” she added. The MMDA official noted those who would violate protocols would face sanctions, adding that government personnel and environmental marshals are roving in the area. Meanwhile, Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Undersecretary Benny Antiporda yesterday said the decision to open Manila Bay’s shoreline to the public was meant to show the true nature or purpose on why they decided to come up with the now controversial beach nourishment project. Antiporda made the remark following the criticism hurled by naysayers over the DENR’s decision to open the Manila Bay beachfront from 19 to 20 September and provide visitors a chance to see the progress of the ongoing project. “We were forced to do this because of their false allegations. We need to show this to the people, and let the people defend this. That’s why we decided that they see for themselves what this project is about even if it is just partially finished,” Antiporda told the Daily Tribune. However, he stressed they are not encouraging the people to go to the area given the COVID-19 situation affecting the country. Likewise, the DENR official shared there is a plan to further expand the beach by another 380 meters, with the dolomite sand covering an area totaling three hectares.

That’s why we are considering, we are studying how we can file a case against those who are destroying this project because of the many delays that has happened because of them,” Antiporda said. On the other hand, Pialago said the MMDA has seen a drastic decline in the amount of garbage that is collected from Manila Bay. From 30 truckloads of garbage a day, the MMDA is now collecting just one to two truckloads daily, she said. On Saturday, in line with the International Coastal Cleanup Day, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources opened the controversial “white sand” at the beachfront of Manila Bay to the public, even if the government discourages Filipinos from doing non-essential things outdoors. People were seen taking pictures and holding Zumba sessions without observing the one meter physical distancing protocol. Children and senior citizens — who are prohibited to go outside their homes because they are at high risk to the coronavirus disease — also flocked to the area.

Ginastusan ng P389 million ang paglalatag ng puting buhangin na nanggaling pa sa Cebu. Kamakalawa, ipinakita na sa publiko ang magandang dalampasigan at marami ang humanga. Hindi na raw nila kailangan pang magtungo sa Boracay para makakita ng puting buhangin. Maraming dumagsa sa dalampasigan at ang iba ay nag-selfie pa. Habang ipinakikita sa mga tao ang magandang dalampasigan, nagsasagawa naman ng clean-up ang Metro Manila Development Authority sa di kalayuan. Pinupulot ang mga basurang inaanod na karamihan ay plastic. Kung hindi pupulutin, tiyak na hahantong sa bagong tambak na puting buhangin ang mga basura. Masisira ang magandang tanawin kapag hindi inalagaan ng pagpulot sa mga inaanod na basura. Ang pinagkagastusan nang malaki para sa beautification ay masasayang lang dahil sa mga basura. Karaniwang supot na plastic, grocery bags, sache ng 3-in-1 coffee, catsup, shampoo, toothpaste, at iba pang basura na hindi nabubulok ang itinapon sa Manila Bay. Maraming probinsiya at siyudad ang nakapaligid sa Manila Bay – Maynila, Cavite, Paranaque, Navotas, Valenzuela, Bataan at iba pa. Posibleng galing sa mga nabanggit na lugar ang mga basura. Tiyak na pinakarami ang nanggaling sa Maynila. Lahat nang basurang itinapon sa mga estero sa Maynila ay tatangayin sa Manila Bay. Karamihan sa mga nagtatapon ng basura ay informal settlers o mga iskuwater, deretso sa estero ang kanilang basura. Ang kawalan ng disiplina ng mamamayan sa pagtatapon ng basura ang nararapat namang pagtuunan ni DENR Sec. Roy Cimatu. Masasayang lamang ang pagpapaganda sa Manila Bay kung walang kontrol ang pagtatapon ng basura.

Roy Cimatu. Masasayang lamang ang pagpapaganda sa Manila Bay kung walang kontrol ang pagtatapon ng basura. Natatandaan namin na noong nakaraang taon nagbabala si Cimatu sa mga walang disiplinang nagtatapon ng basura. Nagsalita siya sa isang forum at sinabi niyang tapos na ang araw ng mga gumagawa ng krimen laban sa Inang Kalikasan. Tutuldukan na raw niya ang pag-abuso sa kalikasan sapagkat mahigpit niyang ipatutupad ang environmental laws at mga ordinansa. Pero makalipas ang kanyang pagbabanta, wala pa ring nakitang pagbabago at lalo pang dumami ang mga nagsasalaula sa kapaligiran. Marami pa rin ang walang disiplina sa pagtatapon ng basura. Kailangan nang gumamit ng ‘‘kamay na bakal’’ sa mga nagtatapon ng basura. Gawin ito ni Cimatu para di masayang ang sinimulan.

    10 MARCH 2021, WEDNESDAY Headline STRATEGIC March 10, 2021 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 1 Opinion Page Feature Article DENR tells LGUs: Pass local ordinances to oblige barangays segregate wastes INQUIRER.net / 12:04 PM March 09, 2021 DENR Undersecretary Benny Antiporda. (File photo by HENZBERG AUSTRIA / Senate Public Information and Relations Bureau) MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has urged local government units (LGUs) to pass ordinances that would direct barangays (villages) in implementing waste segregation. DENR Undersecretary Benny Antiporda, of the Solid Waste Management and LGUs Concerns, said in a statement on Tuesday that cities and municipalities in the country have ordinances on waste segregation that should be implemented at the very source — barangay level — for “effective collection and disposal of solid waste.” “Propose to your local council to create an ordinance that will act on those who do not practice segregation in their barangays,” Antiporda said. The DENR official also echoed the call for efficient and effective handling of solid waste. “It is already stated in RA [Republic Act] 9003 [Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000], but let us strengthen it with the help of your council,” he added. He also recommended having inter-barangay “environmental marshals” in every barangay within a city/municipality to monitor solid waste management practices in neighboring barangays. Meanwhile, according to the data of the Provincial Government – Environment and Natural Resources Office of Cavite, 58.78 percent of the waste generated in the province is biodegradable, while 28.19 percent are residual wastes. Antiporda encouraged Cavite LGU to allocate funds for the collection of biodegradable and residual wastes.

Sinabi pa ni Sampulna na inatasan siya ni DENR Secretary Roy A. Cimatu na maghanda sakaling ang BARMM government ay hihingi ng tulong. “If they will seek technical assistance, we are willing to extend expertise, not just in mining but in all other aspects that BARMM needs such as in lands, forestry, biodiversity, and environment,” ani Sampulna. Nilinaw pa ni Sampulna na ang DENR ay walang awtoridad para magsagawa ng mining operation sa Tawi-Tawi kasunod ng panawagan ng publiko sa DENR na umaksyon sa kautusan ni President Rodrigo Roa Duterte para sa agarang pagpapahinto ng mining activities sa Tambagaan island. “However, the DENR fully supports the order of the President to suspend the mining operations in the said area for its rehabilitation.” “BARMM is now conducting an investigation on the site to fast track the rehabilitation,” sinabi pa ni Sampulna.

That is what My Dream in a Shoebox envisions to change. We want to bring the dreamers back by providing not only the tools for learning but to also empower these children to pursue a bright future through education. For the 11th consecutive year, TeamAsia brings you My Dream in a Shoebox, an advocacy campaign of individuals and organizations committed to meet the educational needs of underprivileged children in the country.

    Proceedings of IUCN/WCPA-EA-4 Taipei Conference March 18-23, 2002, Taipei, Taiwan CURRENT STATUS AND PROSPECTS OF PROTECTED AREAS IN THE LIGHT OF THE PHILIPPINE BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PRIORITIES Perry S. Ong, Ph. D. Fellow, Center for Applied Biodiversity Science, CI Science Director, Conservation International Philippines Associate Professor, Institute of Biology, UP Diliman I. INTRODUCTION The Philippines, the world’s second largest archipelago after Indonesia, covers a land area of about 300,000 km2 [1]. It is one of the 17 megadiversity countries, which between themselves contain 70 to 80 percent of global biodiversity [2]. Philippine rainforest is home to more than 1130 terrestrial wildlife species (Table 1) and between 10,000-13,000 species of plants [3] so far recorded, of which more than half are found nowhere else in the world. As such, the Philippines has also been described as Galapagos times ten [4]. It is also one of 25 global biodiversity hotspots [5, 6] with more than 97 percent of its original forest cover lost [7, 8]. In fact more original forests were lost in the last 50 years of the 20th century than what was lost in the previous 450 years combined [9]. Yet more new species are still being discovered on these islands than any other areas on earth in recent times [e.g., see 10, 11] Table 1.
