Meralco joins inter-agency cleanup drive along Pasig River
Excerpt
To commemorate the International Day of Biological Diversity, the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) recently participated in a special inter-agency clean-up activity in Estero de Provisor organized by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the Pasig River Coordinating and Management Office (PRCMO). The clean-up activity cleared the inlet surrounding Isla de Provisor in the City of Manila from overgrown water hyacinths which, when left proliferating, can cause flooding during the typhoon season as they restrict the natural flow of water through these vital waterways.
