MANILA, Philippines — As part of its P95.4 billion Pasig River Expressway (PAREX) project, conglomerate San Miguel Corporation (SMC) on Thursday announced its plan to revive the long-polluted Pasig River. “For so many decades, even when I was young, the Pasig River had been synonymous to pollution. Many Filipinos have long wanted to clean it and revive it, bring it back to its old glory. The 27-kilometer Pasig River, which links Laguna de Bay to Manila Bay, runs through the cities of Manila, Makati, Mandaluyong, Pasig, Taguig, and the municipality of Pateros in Metro Manila and Taytay in Rizal province. The expressway is also seen to provide as an alternative and faster access to business hubs Makati, Ortigas, and Bonifacio Global City.
