Illegal Dumping of Flood Garbage and Debris along the River Bank

Volunteers from Greenpeace Water Patrol, Ecowaste and Buklod Tao Kalikasan bear witness to the illegal dumping of flood garbage and debris along the river banks of Nangka River by the Marikina government and Metro Manila Development Authority. The groups install a banner on the mound of wastes on the Marikina Side saying “Protect our River, Stop Dumping” and from San Mateo Side “Ang Basurang itinapon niyo, Babalik sa inyo.” San Mateo residents fear that the continuous dumping will cause further erosion on their side of the river.
