The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is strengthening its partnership with local government units and communities to help save rivers and esteros.
On a broader scope, the Gawad Taga-Ilog or GTI initiative, which is now on its third year, taps LGUs and communities into the greater goal of rehabilitating Manila Bay. For the GTI contest, LGUs will nominate their chosen estero or waterway within their jurisdiction. Nominees will be judged according to the LGUs’ management of their solid and liquid waste, informal settler families and illegal structures, habitat and resources, and sustainability and partnership.
GTI also aims to encourage Metro Manila residents to adopt a sense of ownership and a positive mindset towards their responsibility to maintain clean waterways.
