A campaign to recover waterways in Metro Manila got a boost on Tuesday after the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) signed a memorandum of understanding with the SM Prime Holdings Incorporated for the rehabilitation of the Parañaque River and the Estero de Tripa de Gallina. The said partnership was made under the DENR’s Adopt-A-River Program, where a company takes charge of the cleanliness and maintenance of a certain part of the river. The program was recently considered as a key strategy to fulfill the Supreme Court’s continuing mandamus to clean up Manila Bay.
