The Manila Bay White Sand Make Over is a project made to put crushed dolomite on top of Manila Bay to discourage littering and increase it’s beauty. Though lately this project has been gaining criticism from many environmentalist groups. Saying “this is not real rehabilitation” and “this will harm the environment”. Though so far none of those statements seem to hold any truth to them. As crushed dolomite has been found to not cause any health issues confirmed by DOH. As of now the project is still continuing and looks to continue itself in the future.

Government wants to screw us all. Again.

A few days ago the DENR dumped white sand onto Manila Bay. They've defended the dumping of crushed dolomite on Manila Bay’s shoreline, saying it would discourage littering.

Now, the DENR has some good intentions. It is part of the beach enhancement of the bay.

Everyday we stray away further from God.
A murder carried out by a US Marine Navy against a Filipino was pardoned by our President Duterte in August 9. People were very distraught by this even taking online to express their agitation. They are common reason as to why they are mad is due to the fact that our President pardoned a murderer. This leaves us a extreme question, is murder pardonable? Is taking another person's life out of revenge something to be considered as justified?

What a waste, you spilled so much water everywhere because you wanted to see if the cup was unspillable even when it wasn't. What a waste, you threw sand in an ocean that would wash it away, thinking that it would stay forever. The Philippine government recently began a project that would "rehabilitate" the Manila Bay Area by dumping crushed dolomite along the shoreline of the bay, which has been met with heavy outrage and backlash from netizens and from environmentalist groups saying that simply dumping sand into the bay would not be reha.

Arlen Specter said that “The Fundamental Purpose of a government is to protect its citizens.”
But can that still be applied right now? The Philippine Government started recently the Manila Bay White Sand Makeover which involves the adding of white sand to parts of Manila Bay. This has been met with massive backlash as the gov’t supposedly prioritized this project over the likes of Mass Testing for the pandemic which would massively benefit the entire population. Both sides of the coin have offered their reasons and insight for this situation.

Do you want to know why Filipinos are arguing that they have an incompetent government?
Considering the pandemic that our country is facing right now, citizens of the Philippines are bothered about the recent measures that their government has done to deal with this crisis. One instance is the allotment of budget for the Manila Bay 'white sand' project which citizens claim to be what could have been used to provide financial assistance to those who are struggling in the country, especially for gadgets needed by students and food or medicine supply needed by all Filipinos in the country.
