Led by the Departments of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Interior and Local Government (DILG) and of Tourism (DOT), the government is faced with a far bigger challenge than Boracay in launching what it calls the “Battle for Manila Bay,” which primarily aims to save Manila Bay.
The Manila Bay area covers eight provinces and 178 local government units in three regions of the country, namely: National Capital Region (NCR), Central Luzon and Calabarzon.
Of the eight provinces, four are coastal (Bataan, Bulacan, Cavite and Pampanga); four are non-coastal (Laguna, Nueva Ecija, Rizal and Tarlac).
Its drainage area covers 1,994 square kilometers, or 199,400 hectares; its coastline measures some 190 km. There are 17 principal river systems draining to Manila Bay.
The government, led by the DENR, DILG and DOT, is tasked to implement a 2008 Supreme Court continuing mandamus to clean up, rehabilitate and preserve Manila Bay, and restore and maintain its waters to SB level to make them fit for swimming, skin diving and other forms of contact recreation.
