It is considered to be one of the world’s great harbors, the Manila Bay, and it serves as the Port of Manila, Philippines. Having once been extremely overpolluted and lacking maintenance, the bay has since then improved as a result of strict implementation of anti-pollution measures and water quality management. During the rehabilitation of the bay, thousands of marine creatures returned to the harbour and the hazardous substances that once filled its waters were reduced.
There are many tourists and visitors to Manila Bay today who visit this harbour to take pictures with its dramatic horizons and to enjoy the cool breeze from the ocean. However, one of the most famous reasons why they visit Manila Bay is to enjoy its breathtaking sunsets. During the time of dusk, the bay becomes occupied by people who are taking photos of the sunsets.
