San Miguel Corporation’s P1-billion initiative to dredge and expand the Tullahan river system, will not only give the Manila Bay rehabilitation project a major boost—it will also help solve flooding in Bulacan, ahead of plans to build the country’s largest and most modern airport in the province. The project, dubbed the Tullahan-Tinajeros River System dredging project, was launched yesterday by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and SMC with local executives of Navotas, Malabon, Valenzuela, and Bulacan, at the Navotas Centennial Park in Navotas City, where the 36.4-km Tullahan river drains into the Manila Bay. Spillway to the Manila Bay SMC president and COO Ramon S. Ang described the Tullahan river as a spillway from Angat and Ipo dams that is supposed to drain excess water into the Manila Bay.
