00:00 The Philippine Reclamation Authority has accepted the suspension order for the reclamation work in Manila Bay.
00:07 Witness, Ian Cruz.
00:09 Reclamations were still going on in Manila Bay, Pasay City.
00:17 The ship that arrived there was carrying the sand.
00:21 The state of approved reclamation projects here in Manila Bay is different.
00:25 Like in Pasay City, where they are in full force and they are carrying sand every day in that area.
00:32 In the list of the Philippine Reclamation Authority, 25 projects are in line and 13 are approved.
00:40 Three of them are ongoing.
00:41 The Harbor City in Pasay for the 265 hectares that are built by institutions, condominiums and hotels.
00:47 And the 390 hectares that are joint venture of the City and SM Prime Holdings that will be an extension of the Mall of Asia complex.
00:55 The 318 hectares of Manila Waterfront City near the US Embassy, which is in the implementation or preparatory stage of PITO.
01:04 The 650 hectares of Botas Coastal Bay Reclamation Project.
01:08 419 hectares of Horizon Manila Reclamation Project.
01:11 118 hectares of Manila Solar City.
01:14 The Las Piñas-Parañaque Coastal Bay Project, which is more than 431 and 203 hectares.
01:20 And the three reclamation projects in Bacoor, Cavite, which are 90, 230 and 100 hectares.
01:27 The other three are also approved.
01:29 The more than 400 hectares of City Pearl Reclamation Project in Manila.
01:33 844 hectares of Manila-Cavite-Tol Expressway Reclamation Project in Bacoor.
01:38 And 472 hectares of Cavite-4 Island Reclamation Project.
01:44 These are the priority of local government units, aside from one, the Solar City in Manila, which is a private project.
01:52 There are 12 applications for reclamation in Manila Bay that are pending in the PRA.
01:56 According to the Assistant General Manager of the PRA,
01:59 earlier this afternoon, they received a letter from Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin for suspension of all reclamation in Manila Bay.
02:08 We are now crafting our respective letters to the affected LGUs.
02:14 So by tomorrow, we will be able to send this and suspending all reclamation projects.
02:21 The PRA is not sure if the ships and Chinese people will leave the country while the reclamation is suspended.
02:28 I don't know what the conditions of their special permit are.
02:33 Whether if they are suspended, they have to leave or they may be required to park the vessel that has corresponding fees.
02:43 The Manila City Hall confirmed that they have received the suspension order.
02:48 They respect President Bongbong Marcos' decision regarding this.
02:52 No to reclamation! Save Manila Bay! No to reclamation!
03:00 The various groups in the PRA again showed their opposition to any reclamation in Manila Bay
03:07 because it affects their fishing.
03:09 For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz is your witness.
