Manila Bay, the South China Sea Bay, is almost completely land-locked, located in the southwest of Luzon Island. It is one of the world's largest harbors with an area of 2,000 square kilometers (770 square miles). The widest point is 58 kilometers (36 miles). Corregidor Island, 48 kilometers (30 miles) west of Manila, divides the 18 kilometers (11 miles) wide bay entrance into two straits: the South and the north, which are safer to navigate and 3 kilometers (2 miles) wide. The northern and northeastern shores of the Gulf are connected with the central plain of Luzon, and the coastal waters are shallow. They are the largest commercial fishing grounds in the Philippines. Port Manila is located in the easternmost part of Manila Bay, including the north port for inter-island navigation and the south port for international navigation. The Bataan Peninsula and the mountains of Central Cordillera form a natural barrier, making Manila Bay an excellent anchorage. Near Southeast Asia, the Bay was commercially important as early as the Spanish colonial period in 1571. On May 1, 1898, the U.S. Army destroyed the Spanish fleet in the decisive naval battle of the American-Spanish War (the Battle of Manila Bay).

    The famous Manila Bay was once heavily polluted, and there were no natural beaches near Richa Square. In order to combat pollution and develop tourism, the local government has made a big deal and paid a big price. They brought thousands of tons of crushed dolomites from Cebu, paving the beach, improving the beach's vision, but it wasn't suitable for beach activities because it was a stone after all.

    In my mind, my highest good — defending and fighting for Manila Bay — is important work: I wouldn't be doing it otherwise. And ... ❤️🥹 my heart swells so much sometimes, Manila. On those days when there are no groups scheduled, I go to the beach alone ... I arrive ... and then I realize something: I'm NOT alone. I'm not alone in this battle. William is there — ALWAYS. I see Joy constantly. PJ. Agnes. Ghuy. I see Corazon. Aaron. I see so many Manila Bay Beach Volunteer Army members — constantly. And EVERY DAY people — people I haven't yet met, people I don't know — they watch from a distance — but after a short time, they walk up to me, talk to me, ask me who I am/what I'm doing/where I'm from ... the normal questions people are curious about ... and they START TO HELP. 🥲🥹 When I'm there — in that moment — I rarely get emotional about it: there's too much work to be done. But now ... at home ... looking at the beach through my window, well, I'm emotional. I appreciate every d@^n one of you. Sincerely. Bottom of my heart s*!t. ❤️🥹 The people I meet, the people I am fortunate enough to interact with and work beside, the people who just do what it takes ... I LOVE THOSE PEOPLE! AND ... since we are here ... I could not properly express my RESPECT, ADMIRATION, APPRECIATION and LOOOOOVE for the Philippine Mountain Rangers and Wildlife Enforcers — because they are ALL "those people" I just referenced! Talk about STEPPING UP!
