SMC leads cleanup of Bulacan rivers
Excerpt
San Miguel Corp. (SMC) announced on Thursday, June 23, that the company will soon start cleaning up rivers belonging to the Marilao-Meycauayan-Obando River System in Bulacan. This is after the SMC has reached its goal of removing over 1 million metric tons of silt and solid waste from the length of the Tullahan River ahead of the schedule drawn up with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Having met its target, SMC's team is now focusing and moving on to its next mission to clean up the Bulacan rivers which are set to start this month. The initiative will be part of its comprehensive flood mitigation measures for the province of Bulacan, which is committed together with its New Manila International Airport and Airport City projects. A study commissioned by San Miguel Aerocity Inc. has assessed the impact of the airport development on flooding and has identified measures to reduce the province's long-standing flooding problems. It also studied the water flow affecting the airport site and areas within a seven-kilometer radius.
