NANANAWAGAN ang fishers’ group na Pamalakaya sa pamahalaan na permanente nang isara ang Dolomite Beach matapos isisi ng Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) ang pagbaha sa maraming lugar sa Maynila sa pumping station na nakadugtong sa synthetic white beach nitong mga nakaraang araw na malakas ang pag-ulan.
“This is all the more reason to demand the immediate shutdown of this ill-conceived project. Not only did it cost us hundreds of millions, but the dolomite beach has proven to be environmentally unfeasible and a disaster,” sabi ni Pamalakaya National Chairperson ni Fernando Hicap.
Nanawagan si Hicap kay Environment Secretary Ma. Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga na aksyunan ang problema.
“DENR secretary Yulo-Loyzaga should acknowledge that the dolomite beach is a farce and an ultimate failure. She should totally scrap this project and instead focus on actual restoration of marine biodiversity of Manila Bay.
Moreover, previous DENR officials who were responsible for this costly beach nourishment program should be investigated over the waste of public funds,” dagdag ni Hicap.
