"We
need to share these unique stories to let the public know how we value the
Pasig River," Goitia added.
At
the same time, Goitia said the Commission is determined to bring Pasig River
back to life. This meant putting mechanisms to prevent and to counter acts of
"esterorism" in rivers and waterways that lead to Pasig River.
In
addition, he said that the PRRC River Warriors were able to divert 21 million
kilos of solid waste from the Pasig River. Due to PRRC's efforts and
determination, 17 priority tributaries had been converted into environmental
preservation areas.
"The
Pasig River was once biologically dead but now the river has gradually backed
to life," Goitia added.
According
to Goitia, the public should not lose hope for the Pasig River to survive
because it has gradually been happening. In this regard, Goitia called on the
public to cooperate with and help the government on the rehabilitation of the
Pasig River.
