THE Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and San Miguel Corporation (SMC) formally launched the Tullahan-Tinajeros river system dredging project. The project is a vital part of the Manila Bay rehabilitation program and will help address flooding in low-lying areas near the river such as Bulacan province.
