Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Antonia Loyzaga said the 2008 Supreme Court's decision on the clean-up and rehabilitation of the Manila Bay must be considered in reclamation projects within the historic waters.
In its Mandamus ruling, the High Court ordered 13 government agencies to clean up, rehabilitate, and preserve Manila Bay, restoring and maintaining its waters for commercial propagation of shellfish and milkfish, as well as for swimming, skin diving, and other recreational activities.
The reclamation forum featured the sharing of global best practices on reclamation from technical experts from the United States, Japan, United Arab Emirates, and Singapore, and processes and issues on reclamation in the Philippines from academicians, government officials and private sector representatives.
Aside from the DENR, other agencies involved in implementing the order include the Department of the Interior and Local Government , Department of Health , Department of Public Works and Highways , Metropolitan Manila Development Authority , Department of Education , Department of Agriculture , Department of Budget and Management , Philippine National Police Maritime Group, Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System , and the Philippine Ports Authority .
Loyzaga nonetheless said reclamation could serve a beneficial purpose, citing as successful examples much of the city of Rotterdam, new land for transportation infrastructure and urban expansion in Boston, and other reclamation projects across the globe.
