The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) recently turned over a total of eight boats to the provincial government of Bulacan to boost the province’s cleanup drive on Manila Bay. DENR Bulacan chief Emelita Lingat stressed that the boats will be distributed to five localities here — four boats will be given to the City of Meycauayan, while the City of Malolos and towns of Calumpit, Hagonoy and Paombong will receive one unit each. “The distribution of these trash boats would be supplemental in our cleanup efforts, as well as in our waterway patrolling and monitoring activities especially in the Marilao-Meycauayan-Obando River System,” Lingat said.
