MANILA, Philippines — An official of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said yesterday that swimming may be allowed in Manila Bay’s dolomite beach by the end of the year.

DENR Undersecretary for policy, planning and international affairs Jonas Leones said visitors may be allowed to take a dip in the man-made beach by December.

“Though people are allowed to visit the beach, swimming is still prohibited since there are still ongoing works to make the bay’s water quality fit for swimming,” Leones said.
