July 29, 2024, 2:43 pmThe Metropolitan Manila Development Authority has cleared over 387 tons of garbage from Manila Bay and other areas in the National Capital Region following the devastating impact of Super Typhoon Carina and habagat.
Personnel from the government’s Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged Workers program also supported the MMDA in the cleanup operations. “We requested assistance from the MMDA for the cleanup and were able to collect about 800 kilos of garbage, including bamboo and tree branches, and wood debris,” said Mayor Ruffy Biazon.
The agency emphasized that the washed-up garbage in the estuary and pumping stations indicated the lack of discipline in garbage disposal, which clogs waterways and ends up in the river and Manila Bay, affecting facility operation.
