Manila Bay

The famous Manila Bay was once heavily polluted, and there were no natural beaches near Richa Square. In order to combat pollution and develop tourism, the local government has made a big deal and paid a big price. They brought thousands of tons of crushed dolomites from Cebu, paving the beach, improving the beach's vision, but it wasn't suitable for beach activities because it was a stone after all.

Twas wet and windy when we visited. Lucky to meet an enterprising vendor selling large umbrellas for 250 pesos( around usd4) and there was a tent. after a few minutes it cleared. the breeze was relaxing. a horse drawn carriage is for rent for for 500 pesos -4max.or 1000 pesos to Mall of Asia.

In my mind, my highest good — defending and fighting for Manila Bay — is important work: I wouldn't be doing it otherwise. And ... ❤️🥹 my heart swells so much sometimes, Manila. On those days when there are no groups scheduled, I go to the beach alone ... I arrive ... and then I realize something: I'm NOT alone. I'm not alone in this battle. William is there — ALWAYS. I see Joy constantly. PJ. Agnes. Ghuy. I see Corazon. Aaron. I see so many Manila Bay Beach Volunteer Army members — constantly. And EVERY DAY people — people I haven't yet met, people I don't know — they watch from a distance — but after a short time, they walk up to me, talk to me, ask me who I am/what I'm doing/where I'm from ... the normal questions people are curious about ... and they START TO HELP. 🥲🥹 When I'm there — in that moment — I rarely get emotional about it: there's too much work to be done. But now ... at home ... looking at the beach through my window, well, I'm emotional. I appreciate every d@^n one of you. Sincerely. Bottom of my heart s*!t. ❤️🥹 The people I meet, the people I am fortunate enough to interact with and work beside, the people who just do what it takes ... I LOVE THOSE PEOPLE! AND ... since we are here ... I could not properly express my RESPECT, ADMIRATION, APPRECIATION and LOOOOOVE for the Philippine Mountain Rangers and Wildlife Enforcers — because they are ALL "those people" I just referenced! Talk about STEPPING UP!

Drink a small wine and eat buffet, enjoy the beautiful sunset of Manila Bay...life small...

3 days before Christmas Manila Dolomite Beach is still open to serve fellow mga kababayan and enjoy this stunning great and relaxing view of Manila Bay😘❤️💚🇵🇭

Located on the west side of the capital Manila, the natural coastline has built resorts and tourist facilities. The scenery is beautiful, especially at sunset, the tourists who watch the scenery gather, drink beer, and wait for the most beautiful scenery. The small bus on the street is very special and stops beckoning.
