June Falcis, 16, of Iloilo City Proper and his friends love to plunge into the Iloilo River to cool off the summer heat which is setting in this month. The group said they don’t mind the sometimes murky and smelly water because they are used to it. What they should be concerned about is the high coliform levels in the Iloilo River despite almost three years of cleanup efforts by the city government and other concerned agencies.
