(Inset) In a related photo (right) Cimatu was welcomed by Manila Yacht Club Commodore Robert Lim Joseph. Cimatu inspected a newly inaugurated solar-powered sewerage treatment plant located in front of the MYC building which connects three major drainage outflows between the US Embassy and the MYC. This was a major milestone to lessen the flow of pollution into Manila Bay. Cimatu has designated the MYC as the ground zero of the “Save Manila Bay” project, an enormous undertaking to save Manila Bay and restore its lost glory. The project was executed by DENR in collaboration with Rotary Club of Manila where Joseph serves as president.
