The Pasig River rehabilitation project is primarily aimed at boosting tourism and promoting transportation connectivity in the metropolis, the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) said on Sunday. DHSUD Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar, who also chairs the Inter-Agency Council for the Pasig River Urban Development (IAC-PRUD), said the project, the brainchild of First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, is designed to benefit ordinary Filipinos in the long run.
