A typical sight

This is a fairly typical sight on the river.

 

The efforts to rehabilitate the Pasig seem to focus on relocating shanties like these. To me, however, these shanties are like the canary in a coal mine. That so many of the very poor settle on the river's banks is a measure of how bad the water is. Those who can afford to live elsewhere do.
