Pagsanjan River (Tagalog: Ilog Pagsanjan), on the island
of Luzon in the Philippines, is a river system that flows through
the towns of Lumban, Pagsanjan, and Cavinti. It is sometimes also
referred to as the Pagsanjan-Lumban River. |
| Pampanga
River is the second largest river in the island of Luzon
in the Philippines, next to the Cagayan River. It is located in
the Central Luzon region and traverses the provinces of Pampanga,
Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Tarlac and Quezon. |
| The
Pangil River (Tagalog: Ilog ng Pangil), also known
as the Bambang Hari River, is a river system that runs through Pangil,
Laguna in the Philippines. It is one of 21 River tributaries of
Laguna de Bay and is regularly monitored by the Laguna Lake Development
Authority(LLDA) through one of its 15 river monitoring stations. |
| The
Pansipit River is a short river located in the
Batangas province of the Philippines. The river is most notable
for being the sole drainage outlet of Taal Lake. Due to the unique
geological history of the lake, the river is its sole connection
to the sea, with the Pansipit emptying into Balayan Bay. |
| The
Parañaque River is a river of the Philippines.
It is located to the south of Manila. |
| The
Pasig River is a river in the Philippines and connects
Laguna de Bay (via the Napindan Channel) into Manila Bay. The river
is called Ilog Pasig in Filipino. It stretches for 25 kilometres
(15.5 mi) and divides Metro Manila into two. Its major tributaries
are the Marikina River and San Juan River.
The
Pasig River is technically a tidal estuary in that the flow direction
depends upon the water level difference between Manila Bay and Laguna
de Bay. During the dry season, the water level in Laguna de Bay
is low and the flow direction of the Pasig River depends on the
tides. During the wet season, when the water level of Laguna de
Bay is high, flow is normally from Laguna de Bay towards Manila
Bay.
The
Pasig River used to be an important transport route in Spanish Manila.
However, due to negligence and industrial development, the river
has become very polluted and is considered dead (unable to sustain
life) by ecologists.
The
Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) was estalished to oversee
rehabilitation efforts for the river. Supporting the PRRC are private
sector organizations i.e. Clean and Green Foundation, Inc. who implemented
the Piso para sa Pasig (Filipino: A peso for the Pasig) campaign. |
