In a report by Jun Veneracion on 24 Oras, about 500 meters of the Baywalk area will be filled with white sand on top of the existing gray sand.

“Gagawing white sand itong dito sa may Baywalk area para makita ng tao na kapag puti ang kulay ng isang bagay, kailangan pangalagaan mo ito at huwag mong dumihan,” Environment Undersecretary Benny Antiporda explained.
