Pasig river pollution

Walking along the river to go clean things up we becaem a hero to these people they saw that we were coming from all over the world (US, Germany, China, Canada, Finland, Belgium) to do the work they need to be doing. And thankfully after we left young people from all over manila were flocking to work there.

"Pasig" is Tagalog for "toilet". It is the main sewage line in the N.ational C.omfort R.oom

@onggoytatay haha clever!

For those not familiar with the Phillies he's making a joke NCR is an acronym for the countries official name and a "comfort room" is a Philippine word for bathroom

that's not a river, that's a sewer

[kingofkards91]

@koovah Unfortunatly since they can't get trucks in to the slums there's nowhere else to put it all the government doesn't care because the people living there are squatters (living there illegally)

@onggoytatay shut up don't act so smart!!it's not funny,,

[onggoytatay]

@kingofkards91 Very true. And sad.

[onggoytatay]

@jam70371 Why would walking be cleaning? If that was true, the Philippines would be spotless.

[onggoytatay]
