The manila bay has already turned into white sand and it is quite popular. People forget that there is still COVID and a lot of people came without any proper distancing. President Rodrigo Duterte praised  Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu for the rehabilitation of Manila Bay. They turn the sand into white by the overlay of artificial white sand made of crushed dolomite.

“Let us begin by congratulating Secretary Cimatu. You know I remember that meeting (in Davao City) I think everybody was there when I said: ‘Can you clean this up?’ And the answer was very curtly given. He said: ‘I can work on it,’” Duterte said in a taped speech delivered partly in Filipino.

“People now are really enjoying the reclaimed area with the white sand at least,” he added. “He impressed me he accepted my dare. He just said he would do it. And people are now enjoying the benefits of the determined action of a Cabinet member to do good.”

“Without you, I would have a very hard time running the country. But because you are there. I’m not saying I have succeeded, that is for the people to assess or give when I’m no longer the president but what I’m trying to impress also upon the people is that we are doing our job,” Duterte said.
