The Pasig River in Manila has been identified as a major contributor to plastic waste in the oceans. Bloomberg posted on X that Philippine President Marcos has announced a flagship project aimed at cleaning up the polluted waterway. The initiative seeks to address the environmental challenges posed by the river, which has long been a source of concern due to its significant impact on marine pollution. Efforts to rehabilitate the Pasig River are expected to involve comprehensive strategies to reduce waste and improve water quality, reflecting the government's commitment to environmental sustainability.
