I've been away from Manila for some time and I heard of the Pasig River ferry that runs from Guadalupe to Escolta(?). I really hope the ferry is a success. We need this one. It also might bring to light the plight (and filth) of the river and that the authorities will do something about it. I'm heartened to remember that the Singapore river used to be very filthy but is now clean and a beautiful sight after a major cleanup.
I received this picture from a friend who've tried the ferry. He thinks everyone should try it for the interesting sights like the Malacanang, Escolta and even the slums along the banks.
One building along the banks is the Manila Central Post Office, almost postcard pretty in the above picture until one looks closer and sees a really disgusting sight. Look closer at the picture above before moving down to the enlarged portion below.
Tarannnnn!
At left is a close up of someone defecating by the Pasig.
Let's save the Pasig river from people like him/her.
