DHSUD bares plans for Pasig River rehab

TASKED by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to lead the Inter-Agency Council for the Pasig River Urban Development (IAC-PRUD), the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) has begun inspecting key areas along the Pasig River and laid out plans on how to implement the Chief Executive's order.

DHSUD Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar said in a statement that they initially checked on portions of the historic river in Manila, particularly at the back of the Central Post Office, which is being eyed as pilot area for mixed-use development and tourism spot, and Parola Compound for the affected informal settler families.
