    The document discusses the controversial Manila Bay Beach Nourishment Project which involved dumping crushed dolomite rocks to create a white sand beach. [1] The author agrees rehabilitation is needed but disagrees that dolomite will improve mental health or keep the bay clean. They question how impacts on tourism can be assured without damage. [2] If advising DENR, the author proposes focusing on natural cleaning rather than artificial white sand that risks health and wildlife. Emphasis should be on the bay's natural beauty through cleaning, which also avoids waste and harm while boosting tourism through authentic natural attractions built on history and memories.

    Manila Bay Beach Nourishment Project

    1. What can you say about the controversial Manila Bay Beach Nourishment Project?
    As a citizen, that may be affected by the decision of the government regarding the
    "Manila Bay Beach Nourishment Project", I agree with them for one reason, that is to
    rehabilitate Manila Bay. Also, I disagree with them for many reasons. For this reason, I don't
    believe that the dolomite will and can help the mental health of the individuals also, to keep the
    Manila Bay to be clean. And as mention in the case, many people wanted to have their pictures
    at Manila Bay. This happened in the middle of the pandemic and quarantine, where there are a
    lot of restrictions that people needed to comply with. But, people did not even hesitate to go to
    Manila Bay, just to see the white and take pictures.

    And besides, how can the government be a hundred percent sure that the "dolomite" can help to
    prevent Manila Bay from being damaged again? Let's say that once the restrictions, the travel
    ban is lifted, the "man-made white beach sand in the middle of the city" can and would be one
    of the tourist spots in the Philippines. It will help to boost our tourism. But, how can they assure
    that, when all the tourist visits the Manila Bay Beach, it will still be clean? Due to a lot of people
    visiting, they can't avoid those people from damaging again Manila Bay, by throwing or leaving
    their garbage there. And also, there are few stores or establishments around the area, there
    might be an incident that the people will just throw their waste at the beach, like on what
    happened to Boracay.

    2. If you are the members of the DENR, what would be your proposal for the rehabilitation of
    Manila Bay and help boost local and international tourism? Discuss in detail
    If I am one of the members of DENR, and I am one of those people who can propose for
    the rehabilitation of the Manila Bay. I recommend that we'll focus on making Manila Bay back to
    its former beauty without putting artificial white sand that can harm people's health and marine
    wildlife. The Manila Bay is beautiful as it is, it just needed to be clean. My mother said that
    before when the bay is still clean, there are people who swim at Manila Bay. The Manila Bay can
    still be a "beach" without putting those "dolomites". Also, as one of the members of the DENR,
    we are responsible to assure and taking care of nature. But, why did the DENR approve using
    dolomite? Dolomite came from a mine in Cebu, they harm the mountains, our mother nature.
    That's why I will suggest and try my best to convince them that putting dolomite in Manila Bay
    won't do anything well. It could work at first, but they/we can't assure that it won't damage
    Manila Bay more. But, if we just focus on keeping Manila Bay clean as it is, we did not waste a
    large amount of money, we also did not harm anything especially the people, the marine
    wildlife, and nature. Having a natural-made tourist attraction will help to boost local and
    international tourism. Most people much prefer natural beauty-made attractions because it
    gives a different feeling than the man-made. Also, a natural-made attraction can and will last
    longer than man-made. And also, what makes a place beautiful? It's memories. The memories
    on how it builds, the history of the place, and the good memories that shared in that place.
