The infamous Manila Bay Dolomite Beach has officially reopened to the public on Sunday evening, June 12 following the rehabilitation of its water quality.
The reopening was initially scheduled for May 20 but was moved to June 3, and eventually moved to Independence Day, June 12.
The reopening was attended by Acting Environment Secretary Jim Sampulna, former Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu, and Interior Secretary Eduardo Año.
President Rodrigo Duterte was a no-show at the event despite the expected appearance.
People were seen flocking the infamous beach just hours before it was officially opened over the weekend.
At present the public is not allowed to swim, smoke, spit, and collect dolomite sand in the area. Pets are also banned from entry.
