I really cannot understand why the local government is allowing this activity. The incidence of coronavirus is still escalating and they organized this in Manila Bay, Philippines. They showed the white sand of Manila Bay's beach for the first time. After this activity, there is some news that social distancing was not carried out successfully. The budget for this project is being questioned, too. Instead of using the money related to coronavirus, they squandered this money for this. Guess what? They burned 398 M pesos.
Are they thinking or not?

Pictures of the throng caught the attention and ire of netizens after noticing that most of the visitors were not practicing physical distancing.

I totally agree with you. The government are telling people they do not have budget for covid and yet they have money for this infrastructure that for now will not benefit the tourism since tourism is not yet in full swing. what is happening???

There are other issues that came out and they need to solve this, such as the PhilHealth scandal.

@amitkokiladitya That's the problem for some. They do not know what they are doing.

Honestly, I was disappointed when I have read about it. They should have used the money for more important things.

@CaptAlbertWhisker I also anticipate that it will happen. What a waste of money.

I believe that the government didn’t ‘burn’ that much for nothing. And the budget for that project was included in the 2020 national budget which was approved in 2019. As per budget rules, if it is a line item, the money can only be spent for that specific purpose. And frankly as a Filipino from Mindanao, we’d be happy if we’d be poured that much here.

Oh they all have funds to waste money on. It's exactly the same here in Scotland
