MY THOUGHTS ON THE MANILA BAY WHITE SAND MAKEOVER

a thread (1/?) https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1333630/isko-moreno-sees-no-reason-to-stop-manila-bay-white-sand-makeover

Honestly, I think this is a really bad idea. First of all, it's completely useless. What's the point of making the sand white?? It's just sand. Like, no matter the color it's still gonna be sand. People wouldn't care about the color of the ground they're stepping on. But- (2/?)

-never listen and instead they give us an excuse as to why they'll keep doing it. The best thing we can do right now is speak up about it I guess. That's all I have to say about on this matter, thank you. (7/7)
