3 fast food restos found polluting Mindoro river
Excerpt
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) issued a cease and desist order against three fast food restaurants here—the first in a series of government action against establishments polluting the Calapan River. The 19-kilometer Calapan River in Oriental Mindoro province is one of the government’s “top priorities” for rehabilitation that will kick off formally on March 22, said Drake Matias, director of the DENR Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) in Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan (Mimaropa). Since 2013, environmental officials have been monitoring the river’s water quality that is currently fit just for recreational use.
