The Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission caught a fresh tilapia – which weighed over three kilograms with a length of 20.5 inches – from the Estero de San Miguel, a tributary of the Pasig River, last week. PRRC Executive Director Jose Antonio E. Goitia said it was a good sign that life has returned to the river and its tributaries. Goitia also emphasized it is also due to the PRRC’s strategic rehabilitation of the waterways.
