Hagedorn nixes Manila Bay reclamation project

A House leader has opposed the planned 148-hectare, three-island Manila Bay reclamation project which would establish Manila Solar City, it was learned on Friday.

Neophyte Rep. Douglas Hagedorn of Palawan province, Vice Chairman of the House Committee on Ecology, noted that the proposed Manila Solar City reclamation project of Manila Gold Coast Development Corporation (MGCDC)—which would establish a park, a man-made beach and a terminal for international cruise ships all rolled into one—cannot proceed without an enabling law.
