00:00 The US Embassy is in charge of the Manila Waterfront Reclamation Project in Manila Bay.
00:05 According to the embassy, the dredging contractor of the project is the First China Highways,
00:09 which is a subsidiary of the China Communications Construction Company or CCCC.
00:14 The CCCC is behind the construction of artificial islands in China in the West Philippine Sea.
00:20 I think that Philippines in particular should be concerned about the involvement of CCCC on this project.
00:28 This is a company that's been blacklisted specifically for illegal reclamation activities in the Philippine EEZ.
00:34 The Philippine Reclamation Authority said that the contractor has exceeded the standards of the government
00:40 and that's why the operation was suspended in the country in 2022.
00:44 The Chinese Embassy is also getting GMA-integrated news,
00:47 as is the Manila City Government that is in charge of the project.
00:51 In the so-called Reclamation Project,
00:52 more than 300 hectares of land will be allocated in Manila Bay to be used as residential, tourism and business areas.
