    Excerpt
    Around 30 tons of solid waste have been caught by floating trash traps installed in rivers downstream of Central Luzon since early this year, preventing these from reaching Manila Bay, according to a top Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) official. The 50 traps are nets filled with plastic bottles, Styrofoam and other recyclables, stretching 30 to 100 meters, according to Paquito Moreno Jr., DENR regional executive director. These line the rivers of Lamao, Orani, Orion, Pinulot, Pangulisanin, Amo, Aguawan, Almacen, Bilolo, Talisay, Mabuco and Samal in Bataan province and Guagua-Pasac in Pampanga province.
