    The document discusses the Manila Bay White Sand Rehabilitation project which involved covering 500 meters of Manila Bay's shoreline with dolomite sand at a cost of 389 million pesos. While the government argues it was done for beautification, many criticize the project. The author believes the project was not well-thought out as dolomite may pose health risks like respiratory issues if exposed in large amounts. Additionally, the money could have been better spent helping people suffering extreme poverty and hunger due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Dolomite is a material that has been around for ages, but it was
    only recently that it sparked the interest of many Filipinos.

    Earlier this month, the Department of Environment and Natural


    Resources (DENR) pushed through with its plan of covering a
    500-meter stretch of Manila Bay’s shoreline with dolomite sand
    —a move that drew both praise and criticism.

    The Manila Bay White Sand Rehabilitation was implemented last September 19, 2020
    under President Rodrigo Duterte which has 389 million pesos fond for the
    beautification. Many people criticize this project but government has a one main reason
    and that is for the beautification of the beach.

    For me, this project does not well think enough because the artificial sand called
    dolomite may cause hazard to people and sea creatures living in that beach. Many
    studies say that this calcium magnesium carbonate that used for construction may
    affect human health even though it’s non-toxic. High exposure to this may caused
    respiratory disorder with a symptom of coughing. In my view, this project is really
    unnecessary, most especially because we are experiencing the Covid-19 pandemic that
    causes multiple deaths, a lot of people also lost their jobs just to make assure the safety
    of everyone, to lessen the people who will get the virus that is why people suffer from
    hunger. I am one of those people that is not a fan of this project because I don’t see the
    good reason of this during this time, I understand that it is for beautification but a lot of
    people suffers, a lot of people experience extreme poverty because of this new normal, a
    lot of people want food in a table and not a dolomite in the beach.
