Part of Pasig River impassable due to trash

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority on Tuesday said that a part of the Pasig River has become impassable due to trash. "Hindi passable ang Ilog Pasig sa mga bangka mula PUP hanggang Escolta dahil sa mga nakaharang na basura," MMDA said on its Facebook page. The agency said it is now conducting clean-up operations.

"Tuloy-tuloy naman ang paglilinis sa ilog sa pamamagitan ng mga trash skimmer na mabilis na nakakakolekta sa mga basura na nasa tubig," said MMDA. Meanwhile, the MMDA called on the public to be more responsible with their trash disposal.“Maging responsable sa pagtatapon ng basura. Huwag magtapon sa ilog at iba pang daluyang tubig para hindi magkaroon ng mga pagbaha,” read the statement. —Jiselle Anne C.
