In a report by Inquirer, aside from the closure, the three establishments are to face P2,000 daily fine according to LLDA General Manager Jaime Medina.

Aside from the efforts of the cleaning drive and closure of establishments, more than 230,000 informal settler families near Manila Bay will be relocated.
In a previous report by KAMI, President Rodrigo Duterte gave a warning to the establishments near Manila Bay who kept on polluting it.
