SMC doubles budget for Pasig River rehab
Excerpt
Diversified conglomerate San Miguel Corp. (SMC) is doubling its budget for the clean up and rehabilitation of the Pasig River to P2 billion. In a statement, SMC said it officially launched the five-year project in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), other national government agencies and Metro Manila mayors. “We hope that with the resources and technical know-how that we are bringing into the effort today – along with the continued support of our national government agencies and local government units – we can all make a bigger difference,” SMC president Ramon Ang said.
