According to PRRC Executive Director Jose Antonio E. Goitia,
the public needs to know these stories to inspire them to help in the revival
of the Pasig River.
These stories can be sent to the PRRC and those that will be
chosen will be posted on the website— theriverman.org.
"We need to share these unique stories to let the
public know how we value the Pasig River," Goitia added.
At the same time, Goitia said the Commission is determined
to bring Pasig River back to life.
This meant putting mechanisms to prevent and to counter acts
of "esterorism" in rivers and waterways that lead to Pasig River.
In addition, he said that the PRRC River Warriors were able
to divert 21 million kilos of solid waste from the Pasig River.
Due to PRRC's efforts and determination, 17 priority
tributaries had been converted into environmental preservation areas.
"The Pasig River was once biologically dead but now the
river has gradually backed to life," Goitia added.
According to Goitia, the public should not lose hope for the
Pasig River to survive because it has gradually been happening.
In this regard, Goitia called on the public to cooperate
with and help the government on the rehabilitation of the Pasig River.
"You are not only helping us but the generations to
come, they will realize that Pasig River is a dream that will become a
reality," said Goitia.
