Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, February 17) The San Miguel Corporation is expanding its dredging operations along the Tullahan River to further support current flood mitigation measures in the cities of Navotas, Malabon and Valenzuela before the start of the rainy season.
In a statement, SMC president and chief operating officer Ramon Ang said the Department of Public Works and Highways has greenlit their cleanup plans for the river system’s Sectors 4 and 5. This covers the length of the river from Tinajeros Bridge to Potrero in Malabon and Valenzuela.
The additional 6.3 kilometers of dredging area comes atop the initial 5.25-km Sectors 1 to 3 from the Manila Bay in Navotas to the Tinajeros Bridge, which the diversified conglomerate is currently working on. In sum, the operations will now be covering 11.5 km of the river system, or nearly half its entire length of 27 km.
