The Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) and the ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya plan to set up a mangrove farm at the Baseco compound in Tondo, Manila and turn the slum area into a tourist spot. Gina Lopez, chairman of PRRC and ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya led the launching yesterday of the first mangrove farm in Baseco during the ocular inspection of the access road development project that was recently completed. “The PRRC sees enormous potential in the Baseco development, it being the first mangrove farm in the city of Manila that will become a tourist spot,” Lopez said.
