  1. Good Work, malaking bagay ito na ginagawa ng gobyerno everything can be done with “Political Will”, I praise the people behind it working hard to clean-up the Manila Bay. Every citizen must have a part an act of volunteerism and help the Government in its clean-up. Besides the fence to be done, constant monitoring should also be implemented by installing CCTV Cameras with a near office at the Manila Bay to closely monitor activities since not every pilipino are desciplined. I praise Roy Cimatu and other officials doing their very best, also Año of the DILG. I earnestly request installation of CCTV cameras at Manila Bay.
