The Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) has collected 500 sacks of garbage weighing around 15,000 kilograms in total during a half-day clean-up along the Pasig River last Saturday. PRRC Executive Director Jose Antonio Goitia blamed the large volume of floating solid waste coming from Manila Bay as the main source of the garbage in Pasig River. The agency said large volumes of waste coming from Manila Bay have originated from cities, municipalities, and provinces surrounding it.
