                    [Summary] => With the onset of summer, the Department of Health (DOH) has asked the public not to swim in Manila Bay to prevent contracting skin diseases and other fatal illnesses.


Dr. Luningning Villa, head of National Center for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Center, said that the concentration of pollutants in the bay is high and "it would not be good for the health."

"We discourage swimming in Manila Bay. There are so many diseases that could be acquired in doing this," he noted in a telephone interview.
