Use papaya whitening soap on Manila Bay
By: Joel Ruiz Butuyan - *inquirerdotnet
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 04:05 AM September 14, 2020

I have a stinking suspicion that the government officials who planned and implemented the dumping of “white sand” along Manila Bay are people who are addicted to papaya skin whitening soap and glutathione skin lightening pills. They want everything white, because they have this insane belief that anything gray, black, or brown is dirty and ugly. This can be the only plausible reason for what they have done, because all their other explanations are plain dumb.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) says the project was actually conceptualized and funded last year before the pandemic happened. Whether it was planned before or after the pandemic, it makes no difference because the project is just plain dumb. It was dumb for it to have been planned before the pandemic, and it has become dumber for it to still be implemented even during the pandemic.

The DENR gives the justification that the “white sand,” consisting of crushed dolomite rocks, is actually for a “beach nourishment” project in furtherance of efforts to rehabilitate Manila Bay. DENR officials should be made to watch a video presentation made especially for them—a running clip of a swimming pool installed with the whitest tiles, but the water flowing into it coming from the sewage canal and the septic tank.

The DENR knows what a dangerous cesspool Manila Bay is, because of its involvement in two Supreme Court cases. In 1999, the DENR was a respondent in a Supreme Court case (Oposa v. Factoran) that was filed to force the government to clean up Manila Bay. Environmental lawyer Antonio Oposa Jr. revealed then that the amount of bacteria in Manila Bay was already at one million units per cubic meter, compared to the safe water standard of not more than 100 units per cubic meter. After 10 years of litigation, the Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling ordering the DENR, among others, to clean up Manila Bay. In 2019, the DENR was the plaintiff in a case decided by the Supreme Court where Manila Water and Maynilad Water were fined P1 billion because of their failure to build sewage treatment plants in Metro Manila, and despite having collected sewerage fees from their customers since 1997. This case horribly reminded us that virtually all sewage and septic waters in the metropolis end up in Manila Bay. Oposa disclosed that in 2019, bacteria levels in the bay had risen to a whopping 330 million units per cubic meter, prompting him to call Manila Bay an “unflushed toilet bowl.”

With this dangerous level of water pollution, the DENR project of creating a fake white beach along Manila Bay amounts to what is abhorred by our law as an “attractive nuisance.” The attractive nuisance doctrine states that the owner of a property may be held liable for injuries to children if the injury is caused by an object on the property that is likely to attract children. Not only does the bogus white beach invite children to contract all forms of diseases lurking in the polluted waters, it likewise exposes the government to substantial liability because it has created an attractive nuisance along Manila Bay.

During a House of Representatives hearing, DENR officials revealed that the P389 million funding for the project came from the “contingency fund” of President Duterte. The President bears responsibility for allowing this waste of funds at a time when he has repeatedly told the country that the government has no more money to fund the pandemic needs of his people. There should be a glut of papaya whitening soap in the market nowadays because people are naturally getting lighter skin due to their prolonged home confinement. The P389 million could have bought a tremendous stock of papaya soap, and the sight of DENR officials washing black sand along Manila Bay would have brought laughter-inducing entertainment to the people, which is so much needed in this time of fear and tribulation. That could have been a much better use of public funds instead of the blood-curdling spectacle of bogus white sand dumped in Manila Bay.

Mañanita mentality
DEMAND AND SUPPLY - Boo Chanco (The Philippine Star) - September 18, 2020 - 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines — A story in this newspaper last Sept. 9 made me angry. Here are the first two paragraphs:

“Another lawmaker who tested positive for the coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 has died. Sorsogon second district Rep. Ditas Ramos was on a flight to Manila from Legazpi City yesterday when she suffered cardiac arrest, according to her office.

“It was only on Sunday when the House of Representatives announced that Ramos had been infected.”

Based on this story, the House knew and presumably the Congresswoman knew too that she was COVID positive on Sunday, but still managed to get on board a commercial flight on Tuesday.

I asked PAL if that was their flight and within seconds they responded it wasn’t. Cebu Pacific’s marketing VP did not confirm or deny the flight was theirs two days after I initially asked. She said she couldn’t tell me even if she knew.

Question: Why was a COVID-infected person allowed to get on board a commercial flight? The rules are so strict on domestic travel. One must show a negative COVID test result to board a plane, bus or boat.

A knowledgeable source told me she must have traveled on the basis of an APOR or an Authorized Persons Outside Residence permit. When I asked if an APOR supersedes the usual permits to travel, which includes health checks, my source merely said, it is a long story that includes PNP, AFP and barangay officials.

Clearly, the tough rules do not apply to anyone with political clout.

Just this week, a top PNP official issued an order that for Metro Manila residents to go to Tagaytay, they must have proper barangay and police clearances. Tagaytay lang yan… no airplane flight.

The COVID-positive congresswoman on a Legaspi to Manila flight contaminated an entire flight. I wonder if all the passengers on that flight were required to go on quarantine? Their lives were put at grave risk by official incompetence.

The whimsical implementation of bureaucratic rules, the PNP mañanita comes to mind, reduces the already strained credibility of the IATF, the generals running the anti-COVID fight.

Now we cannot even trust the airlines to keep infected passengers from their flights because they cave in to demands of government officials for special treatment.

I want to share an e-mail sent to me by a reader to show the tedious process of getting a permit to travel within the country. His girlfriend was traveling from Taguig to North Cotabato.

“First of all, the process took her at least 10 days as she had to fit in multiple appointments with various agencies to get approvals to fly to Mindanao.

“She had to go online from a PC or some kind of desktop as the website required to pay the fee was not available via a hand-held device like a phone. Now it’s 2020. Who in his right mind would create a process like this? Anyway, this ridiculous requirement was so she could pay a P60 fee, apparently for the health check which she had to schedule.

“Following this, she had to go to whatever health clinic and wait around most of the day for what was seemingly a useless and total BS experience, a few questions, temperature check and she is clear.

“Now, if this was done on the same day of her flight (or say within 48 hours), there would be some merit for this short check. But this is not the case.

“Then back to the local barangay and police department for some kind of sign off. This, again, takes a reasonable part of the day to achieve.

“From there it was a trip to City Hall for another stamp of approval of some kind, more documents etc.

“Back to the local officials in charge of finalizing the certificate/ approval to travel, and another wait and finally she received her pass.

“She can finally take her flight 10 days after her health check. Let’s analyze this process:

“1) After 48 hours any sign off of health is useless.

“2) At each stage of the process she is exposed to dozens of people waiting in lines and offices for these various rubber stamps.

“3) For each appointment she must interact with others in her travel, whether in jeeps, buses, trains etc.

“The ridiculous process created to ‘protect’ people and stop the spread of the virus is contributing dramatically to the spread of the virus.

“If she were to simply book a flight online, get in a taxi to the airport, have a quick screening there for temperature or whatever, get on the plane and go home, the number of people she interacted with would be minimal.

“There are these very cumbersome processes in place that are counter-intuitive and unproductive, and outright dangerous that one has to go through to travel within the country.

“Yet this congresswoman has demonstrated exactly what COVID is so good at demonstrating: The reality that rules only apply to the lowly people. These rules do not apply to the ruling elite.”

IATF… General Galvez… General Año… what went wrong? Who made the final clearance
