The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) joined the RIVER CLEAN-UP PROJECT in the vicinity waters off Barangays Cembo and West Rembo, Makati City on 31-July-2022. Participating units and organizations extracted approximately 50 sacks or 2.5 metric tons of silt and solid waste emanating from the Pasig River. According to the PCG Station Malacañang, the project aims to alleviate flooding in residential areas along the Pasig River.
