San Miguel Corporation (SMC) is providing P1 billion for the extensive cleanup of the Tullahan River system – a crucial step to rehabilitating the Manila Bay – through a joint commitment with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). SMC President and Chief Operating Officer Ramon S. Ang and DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu signed the landmark memorandum of agreement (MOA) that will implement a comprehensive dredging and cleanup of the 59.24-km tributary. The Tullahan River starts from the La Mesa Reservoir and traverses the cities of Valenzuela and Malabon, before reaching the mouth of Manila Bay through Navotas City.
