Manila Bay Water Cleanliness Update/Report — December 2022

☀️🌊 When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor. You simply identify your highest good ... and you do that. Why would anyone do anything else?

As you may or may not be aware, the Supreme Court Mandamus (🖊 issued in December of 2008) has stated that the water in Manila Bay must reach the safety standard of 100MPN/100mL. Once that level of cleanliness is reached, swimming 🏊‍ will be allowed — this includes swimming at the Manila Baywalk Dolomite Beach.

Previously, prior to the Battle for Manila Bay (rehabilitation efforts ☀️🌊🌴🕶⛱ finally started in Januray 2019), the ambient water readings in Manila Bay averaged approximately 10,000,000MPN/100mL. Manila ... that is simply gross 🤢🤮 and nasty: a reflection of decades of both indifference and neglect.

Illustrating that nature does indeed need time to heal — but that healing can and does happen ☀️🦀🐠🐟🌊 — the current water cleanliness along the Manila Baywalk averages 1000MPN/100mL (as of December 2022).

Although there is still MUCH work that needs to be done, the progress is very encouraging and uplifting.

Still, the work continues daily. Positive vibes, Manila. ☀️🌊

Kindly, Joe✌🏼
