SAN Miguel Corp. (SMC) reported that its river cleanup initiatives at the Pasig River and the Tullahan River, both major tributaries crucial to the rehabilitation of Manila Bay, have exceeded initial targets even as the corporation prepared to ramp up efforts in the coming months with the easing of quarantine restrictions.

SMC President Ramon Ang said the company aimed to steadily increase the daily extraction output from the two rivers. This was in anticipation of potential monsoon rains that usually cause heavy floods in Metro Manila cities near the 27-kilometer Pasig River and the cities of Navotas, Malabon, Valenzuela and Caloocan alongside the 27-kilometer Tullahan River.
