The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has partnered with the Aboitiz Group for the rehabilitation of the San Juan River, one of Metro Manila’s main river systems and a major tributary of Pasig River.
San Juan River, which runs from Quezon City to the cities of San Juan, Mandaluyong and Manila, is considered as one of the most polluted waterways in the metropolis.
The MOA aims to lower the pollution levels in San Juan River, which drains into the Manila Bay, through dredging and cleanup activities. Last year, DENR also entered into an agreement with the Aboitiz group for the rehabilitation and development of the one-hectare Wetland 4 in Boracay, transforming it into a linear urban park for a period of three years.
