Manila Bay, reaching its breaking point.

In Manila, Philippines == the MMDA personnel have been working non-stop since typhoon Gener to clear the garbage that has accumulated in Manila Bay, but their task seems almost impossible.

As of the past few months, workers are still scooping up trash. Despite a massive cleanup, they said tons of plastic, wood, styrofoam, rubber, and other debris keeps on coming back.

The MMDA personnel are still hopeful that they will be able to rid the iconic landmark of garbage little by little. They said most of what they collect are old trash that have been floating around the bay and the surrounding breakwaters.

The MMBA says however that if people keep throwing their trash, the problem will just repeat itself again and again.

    Wow, the picture is really shocking! Thank you for sharing vivid environmental news, Bam!
    Not giving up is the most important thing in this situation I think.
    Also there's an urgent need of people's support not to throwing garbage carelessly.
