I thought it would be appropriate to go there wearing a swimsuit because it's a beach."<br /><br />However, she could only take pictures while standing on the sand and not in the water because people are not allowed to go beyond the barricade tapes installed along the beach.<br /><br />The Manila Bay “white sand beach” was temporarily opened to the public during weekends this month, following its makeover involving “white sand” from crushed rocks of dolomite.<br /><br />The portion of the bay, with a reported price tag of 398million pesos (8.2M USD) was cleaned and covered with crushed white rocks mined from another province.<br /> <br />Officials carried out the face lift in an effort ''beautify'' the heavily-polluted waterfront.
