00:00 The group of fishermen is questioning the continued use of large rocks.
00:05 In the area of Davotas, the Manila Bay Reclamation Projects have been suspended.
00:10 The explanation for this is what Maki Polido will tell us.
00:14 In April, there was no cease in the flow of sand from Manila Bay to this part of the barangay Tansan, Davotas City.
00:25 The sand was passed through black pipes from the sea.
00:29 Earlier, even though there was no cease in the flow of sand,
00:32 some truck drivers were talking about the use of large rocks.
00:37 But the barangay captain said that the area where the rocks were being placed did not expand.
00:41 "On the top, they are moving the soil to make it harder because it is soft."
00:48 This is being questioned by the fishermen.
00:50 There should be no more sand-piling because the DENR is also suspending the Manila Bay Reclamation Projects
00:56 while they are going through the environmental impact of the project.
00:59 "It is not stopping. It is less. There is no end. It is a suspension of the..."
01:05 We asked the DENR and the Philippine Reclamation Authority about this.
01:09 They said that this is a land restoration project of San Miguel Corporation.
01:13 It is not a part of the 650 hectares of Davotas Coastal Bay Reclamation Project.
01:18 It means that it is not a part of the suspension order that suspended the 22 reclamation projects in Manila Bay.
01:25 But the fishermen said that the rocks were being piled from the sea of Cavite, which is a part of Manila Bay.
01:32 "The DENR is also suspending it. How can you say that the Reclamation Project is in the middle of Manila Bay?"
01:39 "The barangay captain is piling the rocks."
01:43 We are still trying to get the permission of San Miguel Corporation.
01:46 In the middle of this, the fishermen in Bulacan are insisting on the piling.
01:51 They said that the life of the Alimasag fishermen is affected.
01:55 "The water is bad. The boat's bow is broken. I can't catch it.
02:00 Alimasag, sometimes when the Alimasag is fishing, we are prohibited to go there.
02:05 Even if it is the sea, it is prohibited."
02:08 For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido, for Tutok 24 Hours.
