Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Roy A. Cimatu (left) explains to the media how the 1.5 kilometer-long rubber pipe will be laid out along the baywalk area in Roxas Blvd. in Manila. The pipe, through which the wastewater from the drainage outfalls in Padre Faura, Rajah Soliman and Manila Yacht Club will be diverted, will run from the US Embassy to the Manila Yacht Club where a sewage treatment plant (STP) will be constructed to treat the wastewater before it will be discharged to Manila Bay. Cimatu visited the baywalk on Wednesday (Feb. 6) to inspect the ongoing clean-up activities in line with the bay’s rehabilitation. ###
