“Aba eh ikaw eh taga Cebu ka, doon ka pumunta sa Cebu at guluhin mo ang Cebu wag mo kaming guluhin dito. We just want to live a quiet life here,” the Senator also said.

Villar, citing former Department of Public Works and Highways Secretary Babes Singson, said the reclamation would cause six to eight meters of flooding, equivalent to a three storey building. The senator further said this will affect two million households in Metro Manila. “We have four rivers going out of that [Manila] Bay, where will the river go, the water of the river go?” The senator said.

“Ano ba yan, ang kapal kapal ng mukha niyo. Alam nyo na babaha kami ng katakot-takot, ayaw nyo pa tigilan yan,” she also said.In response, DENR Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga said that the agency would be reviewing its reclamation policies “as a whole” under President Bongbong Marcos Jr’s administration.
