MANILA, Philippines – Pormal ng binuwag ni Pangulong Duterte ang Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) base sa Executive Order (EO) 93 na nilagdan ng Pangulo nitong November 8.
Inilipat na lamang sa Manila Bay Task Force ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development, Metro Manila Development Authority at Department of Public Works and Highways ang magiging trabaho ng PRRC.
“The Manila Bay Task Force under AO No. 16 shall update and take the lead in the overall implementation of the Pasig River rehabilitation Master Plan, which shall harness the Pasig River’s potential for transportation, recreation, and tourism purposes while undertaking the rehabilitation and restoration of its marine life,” nakasaad pa sa kautusan ni Pangulong Duterte.
Magugunita na noong Setyembre ay sinibak ng Pangulo ang executive director ng PRRC na si Jose Antonio Gotia dahil sa isyu ng corruption.
