THE House Committee on Public Accounts is set to begin its inquiry into the Manila Bay Dolomite Beach Project during the week of November 17, 2025.
The hearing will also examine the project’s flooding impact on adjacent Ermita–Malate areas, including the status of the Faura, Remedios, and Estero de San Antonio Abad drainage outfalls and any effects arising from the project’s engineering specifications.
The committee will also look at available alternative interventions and solutions to further “clean up, rehabilitate, and preserve Manila Bay,” and improve its water quality to make it fit for swimming, skin-diving, and other forms of contact recreation — the specific requirements under the Supreme Court’s Continuing Mandamus.
Invitations will be sent to the following:
a. Department of Environment and Natural Resources
b. Department of Economy, Planning and Development
c. Department of Public Works and Highways
d. Metro Manila Development Authority
e. City of Manila LGU
