MANILA, Philippines—New Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso sought to assure environmental groups and national government agencies of his full support for their cleanup programs in the city. ADVERTISEMENTDomagoso also vowed to expand the Arroceros Park by using space in nearby alleys to make Manila’s so-called “last lung” accessible to the public. Moreno, however, remained firm on his stand that reclamation projects in Manila Bay were not his priority. “I am not against development, but we have to put it in the right perspective,” Domagoso said.
