Manila Bay was a paradise for fish and fishermen in the years after the war. Its clean deep waters were littered with half-submerged wreckage of planes, ships, and war material from both sides of the conflict, which became ideal homes for aquatic life. Talakitok, lapu lapu, banak, kitang, and tanigue were among the high-value species sheltered by metal relics.
The price of scrap metal was so low it was not profitable to salvage the war souvenirs.
Like hundreds of weekend fishermen, my father spent Sundays trying his luck among the wrecks. He was a swimmer in school, but his competing years were cut short by World War II. To catch fish, he swam after them with a homemade spear gun.

ADB declares coal exit in Asia Pacific, but gas remains in play
by Imelda Abano on 11 May 2021
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) plans to exit financing coal, oil and natural gas exploration and extraction activities, according to its draft energy policy released May 7.
The bank says it also intends to deliver climate finance worth $80 billion between 2019 and 2030 to ensure that at least 75% of its projects address climate change issues.
While green groups have welcomed the transition, they note that the draft energy policy has a loophole by potentially allowing fossil gas investments.
ADB is set to release its final energy policy by October this year.
