1 | Philippines: ‘Save Manila Bay’ Campaign | Filipina: Fanentanana “Arovy ny Helo-dranon'i Manila” |
2 | Various groups in the Philippines are petitioning the Manila City government to cancel a contract that would allow the reclamation of 148 hectares covering three islands in Manila Bay. | Vondrona maro ao Filipina no nanao fanangona-tsonia omena ny governemantan'ny tanànan'i Manila mba hitaky ny fanafoanana ny fifanekena hanongotra ny voary mandrakotra tany 148 hekitara ahitana nosy telo ao amin'ny helo-dranon'i Manila. |

4 | Manila Bay is a famous destination to view the sunset. | Toerana malaza hijerena masoandro mody ny helo-dranon'i Manila. |
5 | An online petition was initiated urging the public to support the campaign: | Nisy ny fanangona-tsonia an-tserasera natao hanasana ny olona hanohana ity fanentanana ity: |
6 | Sunset on Manila Bay is a spectacular experience, and is free for all to enjoy. | Endrika miavaka ny masoandro mody ao amin'ny helo-dranon'i Manila, ary maimai-poana ho an'ny rehetra ny fijerena izany. |
7 | But not for long, if developers have their way. | Saingy tsy haharitra, raha manana ny fombany manokana ireo mpikajy fandrosoana. |
8 | But this is not just about the sunset. | Saingy tsy momba ny masoandro mody ihany. |
9 | We all know that the present aggressive development of the area cannot be supported by the existing infrastructure, and extreme pressure is being placed on already inadequate water and power supply, traffic, sewage and sanitation - problems so far not solved, which can only worsen with reclamation | Fantantsika rehetra fa tsy zakan'ny fotodrafitrasa misy ny fandrosoana mahery vaika ankehitriny ao amin'ny faritra, ary noho ny fahaterena tafahoatra, nanjary tsy ampy ny rano sy ny herinaratra, manjaka ny fitohanan'ny fiara, ny fahalotoan-drano ary tsy misy ny fahadiovana - lavitry ny famahana azy ny olana, izay mety hiharatsy indray noho ny fanongotana ny voary. |

11 | Rodolfo lists three reasons for opposing the reclamation. | Rodolfo nitanisa antony telo hanoherana ny fanongotana. |
12 | The first issue is the sinking of Manila: | Ny antony voalohany dia ny filentehan'i Manila: |
13 | The first problem is that Metro Manila is subsiding rapidly - several inches every year - due to over-extraction of groundwater by its rapidly growing population. | Ny olana voalohany dia ny fianjeran'ny Metro ao Manila - santimetatra maromaro isan-taona noho ny fitrandrahana tafahoatra ao ambanin'ny tany ataon'ireo vahoaka tsy mitsaha-mitombo haingana. |
14 | The People's Network for the Integrity of Coastal Habitats and Ecosystems demands the restoration, not reclamation of Manila Bay: | Tambajotram-bahoaka Mitsinjo ny Toerana Amoron-tsiraka sy ny Tontolo iainana (People's Network for the Integrity of Coastal Habitats and Ecosystems) nangataka fanavaozana, fa tsy ny fanongotana ny voarin'ny helo-dranon'i Manila : |
15 | What the national and Manila City government should focus is to restore the previous pristine environment of Manila Bay and surrounding communities. | Ny tokony hifantohan'ny governemanta ao an-tanànan'i Manila dia ny famerenana amin'ny laoniny ny tontolo iainana virijiny taloha tao amin'ny helo-dranon'i Manila sy ireo tanàna manodidina. |

18 | Beyond the sunset view, Leon Dulce asserts that the real beauty of Manila Bay is its marine wealth: | Ankoatra ny masoandro mody, Leon Dulce nanambara fa ny harena an-dranomasina ihany koa no tena anisan'ny mahatsara endrika ny helo-dranon'i Manila: |
19 | …its beauty goes beyond the picturesque views and bird watching hotspots: advocates have long explained the significant role of the Manila Bay ecosystem to lives in the area connected all the way up to the global big picture. | …mihoatra ireo tazana mahafinaritra sy ny fijerena ireo voronany fahatsaran'ny harena an-dranomasina: nanazava maharitra ny andraikitra lehibe sahanin'ny tontolo iainana ao amin'ny helo-dranon'i Manila ireo mpiaro ny toerana raha hivelona ao amin'ny faritra ahitana sary marobe . |
20 | While infamous for its scores of floating garbage and bouts of red tide and fish kills, large parts of Manila Bay are still teeming with sea life. | Na dia ratsy laza amin'ireo fako marobe mitsikafona sy ny hamenan'ny ranomasina mena ary ny fahafatesan'ireo trondro marobe aza i Manila, mbola anjakan'ny fiainana an-dranomasina ny faritra maro ao amin'ny helo-dranon'i Manila. |
21 | Home to diverse marine ecosystems of coral reefs and sea grasses, it remains as one of the most important suppliers of fisheries in the country. | Toeran'ireo karazana tontolo iainana an-dranomasina sy harambaton'akorandriaka ary ny bozaka an-dranomasina, anisan'ireo mpamatsy lehibe indrindra amin'ny resaka jono ao amin'ny firenena i Manila. |
22 | The real beauty of Manila Bay lies in the unseen: despite the pollution and abuse from development aggression, it remains a highly important source of life interconnected to various ecosystems across the country. | Any amin'ny tsy taza-maso no tena misy fahatsaran'ny helo-dranon'i Manila: na dia eo aza ny fahalotoana sy ny fanararaotana ny fandrosoana mahery vaika, mbola loharanom-piainana lehibe iray miara-miaina amin'ireo tontoloiainana isan-karazany manerana ny firenena izy. |
23 | The developer, Manila Gold Coast Development Corporation, claims that the project will not block the sunset view of Manila Bay. | Nilaza ny Manila Gold Coast Development Corporation, fa tsy hanakona ny fitazanana ny masoandro mody ao amin'ny helo-dranon'i Manila ny tetikasa. |
24 | It also insists that the project will not pose a threat to the marine ecosystem: | Nanamafy ihany koa izy fa tsy misy mampidi-doza ho an'ny firaisan-tontolo iainana an-dranomasina ny tetikasa: |
25 | …it will not deprive Manilans, much less Filipinos, of the fabled Manila Bay sunset. | …Tsy hisy fanakanana ny mponina ao Manila, torak'izany koa i Filipina, ny toerana malaza ijerena masoandro mody ao amin'ny helo-dranon'i Manila. |
26 | The development project, envisioned to abide by world-class best practices and standards, and with the use of state-of-the-art green reclamation technology, will not impact adversely on the environment. | |
27 | It will not cause any disruption of whatever nature to the bay's marine ecology, not when studies conclusively show the absence of marine life - even sponges and ascidians that are tolerant to turbid and polluted water - in the project site and contiguous areas. | Mikendry hanaraka ny fanao sy ny fenitra iraisam-pirenena ny tetikasam-pandrosoana, ary amin'ny fampiasana ny teknolojia maitso, tsy hisy ny fiantraikany ratsy eo amin'ny tontolo iainana. Tsy hiteraka fikorontanana eo amin'ny firaisan-tontolo-ianana an-dranomasina ihany koa ny tetikasa, raha tsy hoe mampiseho ny tsy fisian'ny fiainana an-dranomasina ny fikarohana. |
28 | It will not cause floods and will, in fact, reduce the occurrence of floods like other reclamation models all over the globe. | Tsy hiteraka tondra-drano ny tetikasa fa hampihena ny mety ho fisian'ny tondra-drano tahaka ireo modelim-panongotana misy manerana izao tontolo izao. |
29 | The campaigners have been using the #savemanilabay hashtag to promote the cause. | Nampiasaina tamin'ny fanentanana ny tenifahatra #savemanilabay. |
