SMC cleans rivers near NAIA to prevent flooding
San Miguel Corp. (SMC), which operates the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), is continuing its 'Better Rivers PH' initiative to prevent flooding around the airport.
The company has rehabilitated 2.58 kilometers of rivers in Parañaque City and cleared flood drains, removing 129,862 tons of silt and solid waste.
SMC chairman Ramon Ang emphasized that these efforts will be ineffective if communities do not stop littering the rivers and roads near the airport.
Ang hopes for strict adherence to garbage disposal rules to prevent trash from entering the waterways.
Flooding at NAIA Terminal 4 in July 2024 highlighted the ongoing issue during typhoon season, prompting SMC's cleanup drive.
The initiative aims to deliver sustainable solutions with support from government agencies to benefit residents, businesses, and travelers.
