Based on the data of MMDA’s Flood Control and Sewerage Management Office (FCSMO), the collected trash and silt was from Jan. 27 to May 17. “This trash and silt could find their way to Manila Bay if not removed,” he said. The Manila Bay rehabilitation, which was launched on Jan. 27, is led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
