Pasig River clean-up pushed

MANILA, Philippines - Writers, poets, musicians and even the man destiny declared to be National Hero fell for the muse named Pasig. A century later, men still stumbled upon each other for her charms — but this time, to reclaim the beauty she has lost.

“Pasig River is a story of a once beautiful woman whose beauty fades day by day,” says Joseph Ang , Worldbex founding chairman. “And the most tragic thing about it? No one dared to look at her and acknowledge the mockery she has become.”

But there’s hope yet for the muse named Pasig through an initiative called Kapit Bisig sa Ilog Pasig, a project that aims to rehabilitate the moribund 17-kilometer river system. It top-bills a partnership between the ABS-CBN Foundation Inc.-Bantay Kalikasan, the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC), LGU’s and the private sector. Among the strongest supporters of Kapit Bisig sa Ilog Pasig is Worldbex Services International.

In support of the Kapit Bisig sa Ilog Pasig initiative, Worldbex Services International, donated a substantial amount to the ABS-CBN Foundation Inc.-Bantay Kalikasan project Meanwhile, Architect Felino Palafox Jr., of the Pasig Rehabilitation Commission will discuss the milestones of the said project in the Worldbex Seminars which will be held from March 19-20 at the Philippine Trade Training Center (PTTC ).
