MSOpinion Restoring Pasig River “We too can show our love for our country by becoming good stewards of the country’s resources.”
First, the Tullahan River.
I came across a speech by the late President Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. delivered before the Philippine Jaycees in 1970 where he reminisced about Pasig River. Over the years, several attempts have been made in the hope of rehabilitating and reviving the river to improve its water quality and flood water carrying capacity, and restore its environmental integrity.
Being an archipelago, the country is highly vulnerable to water-related hazards. Manila and its neighboring cities and towns along bodies of water are prone to flooding especially during the rainy season and onslaught of typhoons. With its increased hydraulic capacity, Pasig River as a transport route will also be vastly improved. River ferries will be able to provide better intra-city connectivity and help decongest thoroughfares in the metropolis.
