Capiz governor Antonio del Rosario promised to revitalize the Panay River, which he claimed to have become “polluted” and “not fit for human activities.” Del Rosario plans to form a Panay River Council, under which a “Task Force Save Panay River” will operate, in what is seen as a long-term campaign to rid the river of and protect it from pollutants. Citing Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office head Valentin Talavero, the governor said the Panay River is now classified with a “C Status.”
