description Pasig River Overview
The Pasig River is a tidal river in the Philippines that flows for about 25 kilometers from Laguna de Bay to Manila Bay through Metro Manila. It passes through Manila and has long connected settlements, markets, and transport routes in the capital region. Industrial, domestic, and urban pollution severely damaged the river during the twentieth century, so it has become a focus of government and civic rehabilitation programs while remaining a major geographic link between the lake and the bay.
