Tuwirang inamin ni Environment Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loygaza na ang Manila Bay reclamation project ay nakaapekto sa natural na waterway tuwing may pagbaha sa Metro Manila.
"In general, any change, geometrically, physically, in terms of infrastructure that's introduced will change the way the bay behaves. Secondly, reclamation projects will slow down the flow of water and the change actually so far in our model runs, has been for the negative," wika ni Yulo-Loyzaga sa hearing ng Senate Committee on Public Works noong Huwebes.
Dagdag pa ng DENR chief, magbabago rin ang kalidad ng tubig sa Manila Bay at ito ay makakaapekto sa implementasyon ng 2008 mandamus order ng Supreme Court para sa rehabilitation at preserbasyon ng Manila Bay.
"With the model runs that we are actually undertaking, there will be an ecological cost and economic cost to introducing anything into Manila Bay in relation to the implementation of mandamus ruling. The question that we now have in terms of the different scenarios that will be possible, is who will pay for that additional burden in terms of the achievement of the mandamus order," saad ni Yulo-Loygaza.
Matatandaan sinisi ng ilang senador ang Manila Bay reclamation project dahil sa nangyaring pagbaha sa Senado noong Bagyong Carina at hanging habagat.
