Marcos kicks off intensified estero cleanup in Metro Manila
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. leads the launch of the MMDA’s Bayanihan sa Estero Program at Buli Creek and Ilugin River in Pinagbuhatan, Pasig, on the morning of 2 August 2025.
The program aims to intensify cleanup and maintenance of Metro Manila’s drainage systems, many of which are heavily silted and clogged with solid waste, contributing to localized flooding during the rainy season.Photo by Toto Lozano for DAILY TRIBUNE
