SAN MIGUEL CORP. (SMC) said it had removed nearly 700,000 tons of silt and solid waste from the Pampanga River.
The company said it had removed the waste from the August to December period last year within the 26.3-kilometer stretch of the Pampanga River.
This cleanup drive is part of the company’s “Better Rivers Ph” initiative, aimed at cleaning up polluted rivers.
The cleanup initiative, launched in 2020, covered waterways such as the Tullahan, Pasig, and San Juan Rivers, as well as those in Bulacan, Pampanga, and Laguna.— Ashley Erika O. Jose
