Children, teachers, and community volunteers stood in awe as they cruised along the Pasig River, discovering its rich history and renewed beauty. This is the scene that awaits participants of the Pasig River Dalaw Turo × Educational Tour, a free learning experience that invites barangays, schools, and non-government organizations to be part of the ongoing efforts to revive one of the country’s most iconic rivers.
Organized as part of a larger environmental education campaign, the tour gives participants the chance to explore historic sites along the Pasig River, learn about its role in the country’s history, and understand current programs for its rehabilitation.
The tour also highlights the importance of clean waterways and community involvement in environmental protection. Participants will see firsthand the challenges and progress in reviving the river, while being encouraged to become “Ka-Ilog”—advocates for a cleaner, greener Pasig.
Among the tour’s key features are:
-
Presentations on ongoing Pasig River rehabilitation projects
-
Guided visits to scenic and historic locations along the river
-
Interactive discussions on environmental protection and sustainability
-
Opportunities for group reflection and planning for local environmental action
The program is open to barangays, schools, and non-government groups. Registration is free. However, only the first 10 organizations to sign up will be contacted for the initial schedule. Organizers assure that more groups will be accommodated in future tour dates.
Interested groups may register through bit.ly/IlogPasigTara or scan the QR code provided in the campaign’s materials.
This initiative is part of broader efforts under the “Tayo ang Kalikasan” movement, which promotes environmental education and youth participation. It also supports the long-standing campaign to bring life back to the Pasig River, a waterway once central to Manila’s economy and now at the heart of environmental recovery.
The Pasig River Educational Tour not only offers a refreshing learning experience but also empowers participants to take part in real environmental change—starting in their communities.
