SAN Miguel Corporation (SMC) has completed the clean-up of the Pampanga River, marking another success for its Better Rivers PH initiative. SMC removed 694,372 cubic meters of silt and solid waste from the river, joining the Bulacan River system and other rivers rehabilitated by SMC. This initiative aims to address flooding and improve water flow, highlighting the collaboration between the public and private sectors for environmental conservation.
“ SMC ’s rivers clean-up program is a testament the public and private sectors can work together to ensure the rehabilitation of the environment”
With the completion of the Pampanga River clean-up, it now joins the list of desilted and rehabilitated rivers by SMC through the guidance and leadership of SMC Chairman and CEO Ramon S. Ang, or RSA. The Pamarawan River in Barangay Pamarawan, Malolos, Bulacan is the site of SMC’s Saribuhay sa Dampalit, the country’s first and largest Biodiversity Offset Program site.
The clean-up program is undertaken by SMC without cost to government. Expenses are shouldered solely by SMC including provision of dredging equipment. Not only are the rivers desilted but deepened to increase water carrying capacity and improve water flow into the Manila Bay. SMC’s commitment to cleaning up major rivers bears the company’s time-honored value of malasakit. It is proud of the hard work and dedication of its river cleanup teams. “It really makes us happy to continue providing this service to the Filipino people,” Ang said.
