00:00 All reclamation projects in Manila Bay are suspended,
00:03 unlike what was previously reported that one was allowed to continue.
00:07 DNR Secretary Maria Antonia Hulo Loizaga said
00:10 that all projects will be reviewed.
00:13 The team of experts will be appointed to conduct cumulative assessments of the projects.
00:18 The DNR will also study if the projects are subject to their regulations or environmental compliance.
00:26 Loizaga said that they will review the ongoing projects first
00:30 because they already felt the effects of the projects in Manila Bay.
00:33 So, in terms of the long-term prospects,
00:39 we need to take into consideration climate change impacts
00:44 on the cities that are involved and the municipalities that are involved.
00:48 We need to take into consideration the geological risk.
00:51 There is a Manila Trench scenario, also known as FIVOX.
00:55 That is for me what needs to be taken into consideration.
