Inanunsyo ni Bicol Saro Partylist Rep. Terry Ridon na magbubukas ang Kamara ng imbestigasyon kaugnay sa Manila Bay Dolomite Beach Resort sa darating na Nobyembre 17.
Sa X post ni Ridon nitong Lunes, Nobyembre 3, sinabi niya ang pagtutuunan sa unang pagdinig na gagawin.
“The first hearing will focus on the project’s necessity based on (a) the Manila Bay Sustainable Development Master Plan and (b) the Supreme Court’s Continuing Mandamus for the rehabilitation of Manila Bay,” saad ni Ridon.
Susuriin din ng pagdinig ang epekto ng proyekto sa pagbaha sa mga karatig na lugar tulad ng katabing lugar ng Ermita–Malate, Faura, Remedios, at Estero de San Antonio Abad drainage outfalls.
Dagdag pa ng kongresista, “The committee will also look at available alternative interventions and solutions to further ‘clean up, rehabilitate, and preserve Manila Bay,’ and improve its water quality to make it fit for swimming, skin-diving, and other forms of contact recreation — the specific requirements under the Supreme Court’s Continuing Mandamus.”
Papadalhan ng imbitasyon ang mga sumusunod para dumalo sa pagdinig: Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Department of Economy, Planning and Development (DEPDev), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), at Local Government Unit ng Maynila.
Matatandaang nauna nang kinuwestiyon ni Ridon kung kinakailangan ba talagang maglagay ng artipisyal na white sand sa Manila Bay.
