I am on the bus when I first saw Manila Bay, and I can say that indeed it is very attractive and very natural. Adding the plants and street lights it is really beautiful.

Subsequently out of excitement I open the window and I was so disappointed to smell the stinking scent of the air coming from the bay.

Why is it so beautiful at glance yet stinking?

Seeing the water in the bay from the bus there are garbage’s floating, and the color is nearly similar to leachate or let us say the water from the canal. Past years they say that Baguio City was the most polluted city yet there we have Manila that I can say that it is far polluted than Baguio City.

Going back, just after seeing Manila Bay I have read the news from Phil. Star NGAYON about the floating dead baby in Manila Bay (“Patay na Sanggol sa Kahon ,Ipinaanod”-Ludy Bermundo ). Beside from the floating wastes there was also floating corpse, how is that.

Well, one of the ironies is that you can still see people have the guts to swim in the polluted water, are they not aware of the smell, color, or the floating wastes or is it because for them the water is already clean.

Well I am very sure it only proves the lack of education, discipline, poverty, lousy government, and love to nature.
