Manila Bay dolomite 'beach' looks quiet a day after Rolly pounded Luzon
The Manila Bay portion with a dolomite "beach" looked quiet on Monday morning, a day after Super Typhoon Rolly (international name: Goni) barrelled through Luzon and caused devastation in many areas.
Black sand that were "washed in" could be seen by the edge of the man-made beach, which is still under construction.
There was no garbage seen in the area though.

Police meanwhile reminded passersby on the footbridge to observe social distancing.
Bikers and joggers who gathered near the beach were asked to leave the area by Manila Police District's Police Lieutenant Safero Combinido as a precaution against a possible storm surge.
