SMC expands cleanup of Tullahan, Pasig rivers

SAN Miguel Corp. (SMC) reported that its massive initiative to clean up and rehabilitate the Tullahan and Pasig rivers and help mitigate flooding throughout Metro Manila has gained ground, with key sections of both rivers now significantly deeper, wider and able to carry larger amounts of floodwater.

SMC President and Chief Executive Officer Ramon S. Ang said that after 22 months of cleaning up major segments of the Tullahan-Tinajeros River system and nine months of activities at key sections of the Pasig River, the company's most recent hydrographic surveys show significant improvements in both rivers' depths and carrying capacity.
