Pasig River

The Pasig River (Ilog Pasig in Filipino) is a river that drains Laguna de Bay into Manila Bay. It stretches for 25 kilometers and divides Metro Manila into two. Its major tributaries are Marikina River[?] and San Juan River[?].

The Pasig River used to be an important transport route in Spanish Manila. However, due to negligence and industrial development, the river has become very polluted and is considered dead (not able to sustain life) by ecologists.

The Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission[?] was estalished to revive the river. One of its projects is the Piso Para sa Pasig campaign.
