San Miguel Corp. and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources on Monday formalized a joint commitment to undertake an extensive cleanup of the Tullahan River system―a crucial step to rehabilitating the Manila Bay.
Ramon Ang, SMC president and chief operating officer, and DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu signed the landmark memorandum of agreement that will implement a comprehensive dredging and cleanup of the 59.24-km tributary that starts from the La Mesa Reservoir and traverses the cities of Valenzuela and Malabon, before reaching the mouth of Manila Bay through Navotas City.
Ang said SMC would provide the DENR P1 billion to fund the massive cleanup effort.
“The cleanup of the Tullahan river, like other river systems going out to Manila Bay, is crucial to bringing back the glory of the Manila Bay,” said Ang.
