The "Piso para sa Pasig" campaign will end next year, 2008. This project was started December 1989, let us all be the judge of its accomplishment.
Taken from a PIA website:
The Pasig of Maria Clara's time is a far cry from the Pasig River we see today. No thanks to the more than 300 factories and the homes of 10,000 families lining the banks of Pasig which have virtually turned the river system into a waste basin.
The river, which stretches for 25 kilometers from Laguna de Bay to Manila Bay, serves as a major transport route, source of water, and lifeline of Laguna de Bay (one of the biggest freshwater lakes in the world) as such it is a vital ecosystem and an irreplaceable natural resource.
Yet, for centuries the Pasig River has been used, abused, and neglected. Since the early 1500s, commerce and day-to-day needs have pressed Pasig and its tributaries into tireless service.
The river has now been declared a critical water body because of the unspeakable amount of waste dumped into it daily by households and industries. About 330 tons of industrial and domestic wastes are discharged everyday in this waterway, depleting the biochemical oxygen needed to support marine life.
Until recently, little has been done to protect the river system. Past efforts to rehabilitate Pasig river were unsuccessful because they failed to take into account the larger context of the urban environment of which Pasig river is a part.
Recent initiatives
In December 1989, the government began working on a comprehensive rehabilitation program for Pasig with Denmark. The Pasig River Rehabilitation Program (PRRP), was an integrated effort to bring back ecological health to the river system.
The lead agency of the PRRP is the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) which works closely with the Danish International Development Assistance (DANIDA). Cooperating with the PRRP are various national government agencies, local governments, non-government organizations, community groups, professional associations, and business groups.
The PRRP aims to upgrade the environmental state of Pasig within 15 years. Its scope of work includes projects that focus on commercial, industrial, and household pollution; solid waste management; squatter resettlement; waterways dredging; hauling sunken barges; riverside development; and public awareness.
Rehabilitating the historic river is a daunung task in terms of arresting the various sources of pollution at their source, and in making sure that the pmgram is maintained until all goals have been met.
Rehabilitating a river
The rehabilitation of Pasig became one of the priority programs of government which believes that sustainable development is a key element in providing people with a clean and healthy environment.
On January 6, 1999, President Estrada signed Executive Order No. 54 creating the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) to manage the rehabilitation efforts for the river and regulate the dumping of untreated wastewater and solid waste on this waterway. It also involves resettling squatters along the Pasig and the development of parks by the riverside.
The PRRC adopts the goals of the Pasig River Rehabilitation Program, especially that which includes relocating squatters in the river area, developing parks, keeping watch on industries along the river, and monitoring water quality.
In addition, Presidential Decrees No. 600 (1974) and 979 (1976), or the anti-marine pollution laws, will be the bases for prosecuting river polluters, including those that pollute the Pasig tributaries.
The government, through the DENR, will vigorously implement pollution control laws, rules, and regulations including the apprehension and imposition of penalties on violators of these laws.
It has likewise initiated linkups with the private sector like the Sagip Pasig Movement and the Piso Para sa Pasig which have been most helpful in community organizing, promoting community-based waste management program, and launching beautification projects.
In addition, public consultation plus socio-economic acceptability are prerequisites for projects under the Environmental Impact Assessment System before environmental compliance certificates are issued.
These linkups ensure that the Pasig River is free from both industrial and household pollution.
The Belgian government has also offered help by way of a P20 million grant for dredging.
The government's original estimate of P15 billion is not enough to rehabilitate the Pasig River. More will be needed to settle squatters and private firms encroaching on the river. Many old boats and barges also have to be removed, apart from resettling around 40,000 riverside residents.
Resettlement of squatters
President Estrada said his administration will follow a "no relocation, no demolition" policy in implementing its its socialized housing program for squatters which involves an initial 1,000 families living along the danger areas around the Pasig. They comprise the first batch of beneficiaries to be relocated under the government's three-year rehabilitation program. Some P4 billion will be spent to transfer these squatter-families to medium-rise buildings near Metro Manila.
The Chief Executive appealed to riverbank commu-nities to cooperate in the relocation efforts even as he assured them that their shanties will not be demolished unless there are suitable resettlement sites for them. Looking for government land that can be used as relocation sites is one of the tasks of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC).
Metro Manila Development Authority chairman Jejomar Binay, who also chairs the PRRC, however, says some squatters relocated to low-cost homes lease their units and return to their old sites. To ensure that they do not return, the President ordered mayors and barangay captains to patrol their respective areas.
With all these initiatives and concerted efforts of government and the citizenry, the environmental health of the Pasig river will hopefully be restored by the year 2008. In a few years after that, Pasig River will, hopefully, regain its past grandeur.

The Space Shuttle Atlantis breaks free from its Earthly ties and soars toward the stars. The five astronauts assigned to Mission STS-74 are headed for an historic rendezvous in space: the second docking of the U.S. Space Shuttle with the Russian Space Station Mir. Atlantis lifted off from Launch Pad 39A at 7:30:43.071 a.m. EST, Nov. 12. The mission commander is Kenneth D. Cameron; James D. Halsell Jr. is the pilot, and the three mission specialists are Jerry L. Ross, William S. "Bill" McArthur Jr., and Chris A. Hadfield, who represents the Canadian Space Agency. The profile of Mission STS-74 represents a direct precursor to the types of activities flight crews will carry out during assembly and operation of the international space station later this decade. During their eight-day spaceflight, the crew will deliver a Russian-built Docking Module to Mir. The Docking Module will be attached to the docking port on Mir's Kristall module to serve as a permanent extension to the station to simplify future linkups with the Shuttle. The Shuttle astronauts and the three cosmonauts on Mir also will transfer logistics materials to and from Mir.

Popstars is an international reality television program and a precursor to the Idol series. The series first began in New Zealand in 1999 when producer Jonathan Dowling formed the five member all-girl group TrueBliss. Dowling then sold the concept to other countries, initially to Australia and then on to the UK before taking it worldwide.
The show was the inspiration for Simon Fuller's Pop Idol franchise which would dominate reality TV, (along with Big Brother) for the next few years.
Although Popstars had started successfully in most countries, the shows gradually began to fail and were dropped by many broadcasters due to poor ratings. The only country where Popstars is still popular and successful is Germany. In Germany ProSieben is producing the sixth season because of the show's massive success in the ratings. In 2007, it was announced that the show will return to France on M6. It remains one of the most successful TV show formats of all time with the format being sold to more than 50 countries.

Attendees of the annual wreath-laying ceremony at The Spirit of the Elbe marker in Section 7A of Arlington National Cemetery hold a black and orange St. George ribbon and different flags, April 24, 2015, in Arlington, Va. The marker, where the ceremony takes place, reads, “In recognition of the cooperation by American, Soviet and Allied armed forces during World War II. This marker symbolizes the link up of Soviet and American elements at the Elbe River on 15 April 1945. In tribute to the partnership in the battle against tyranny.” (U.S Army photo by Rachel Larue/released)
The Russian-built Docking Module (DM) is lowered for installation into the payload bay of the Space Shuttle Orbiter Atlantis while the spaceplane is in Orbiter Processing Facility bay 2. The module will fly as a primary payload on the second Space Shuttle/Mir space station docking mission, STS-74, which is now scheduled for liftoff in the fall of 1995. During the mission, the module will first be attached with the orbiter's robot arm to the Orbiter Docking System (ODS) in the payload bay of the orbiter Atlantis and then be docked with the Mir. When Atlantis undocks from the Mir, it will leave the new docking module permanently attached to the space station for use during future Shuttle Mir docking missions. The new module will simplify future Shuttle linkups with Mir by improving orbiter clearances when it serves as a bridge between the two space vehicles. The white structures attached to the module's sides are solar panels that will be attached to the Mir after the conclusion of the STS-74 mission.

As a Getty contributor, as part of the Flickr link up, I have been invited to submit a further 10 photos this month before a 31st July deadline. Whilst I was originally invited to contribute through my landscape work I wanted to try and submit some work that was a little out of my comfort zone. With an idea of what stock can be and supporting two heads worth of overactive imagination we decided to try and produce some concept work.
For my 10 images I wanted to produce fresh photography. I wanted to convey children acting out adult behaviour. We have plenty of ideas and will be attempting to make photos out of them over the next month before deciding on a final 10 at the end of the month. If you have any thoughts please feel free to comment and if you have any ideas then please drop me a message. If I manage to make one a reality I'll give credit where credits due. The four I have uploaded tonight are all possibles and were a lot of fun to do. I was especially pleased with the Mia the Mechanic and think this could definetly make the final 10..
Please only comment if you have something to say and dont feel compelled because you saw the photo in a specific group. Please also dont invite these photos to any new groups. thank you
Employees of the Russian aerospace company RSC Energia prepare to conduct final inspections of the Russian-built Docking Module in the Space Station Processing Facility at KSC. The module will fly as a primary payload on the second Space Shuttle/Mir space station docking mission, STS-74, which is now scheduled for liftoff in the fall of 1995. During the mission, the module will first be attached with the orbiter's robot arm to the Orbiter Docking System (ODS) in the payload bay of the orbiter Atlantis and then be docked with the Mir.

The 100th U.S. human space launch is under way with an on-time liftoff at 3:32:19.044 p.m. EDT, June 27, from Launch Pad 39A. The flight of the Space Shuttle Atlantis on Mission STS-71 will be historic for another reason as well: It will feature the first docking between the U.S. Shuttle and the Russian Space Station Mir. Linkup with Mir is set for June 29 at 9:05 a.m. EDT, and will be followed by about 100 hours of docked operations between the crews on board Mir and Atlantis. Atlantis is carrying an American-Russian crew: STS-71 Mission Commander Robert L. "Hoot" Gibson; STS-71 Pilot Charles J. Precourt; STS-71 Payload Commander Dr. Ellen S. Baker; STS-71 Mission Specialists Gregory J. Harbaugh and Bonnie J. Dunbar; and two Russian cosmonauts, Mir 19 Mission Commander Anatoly Y. Solovyev and Mir 19 Flight Engineer Nikolai M. Budarin. Joint scientific investigations will be conducted while the two spacecraft are docked, and a changeout of the crew on Mir will be completed. Budarin and Solovyev will transfer to the space station and remain there, and the three crew members currently on Mir, U.S. astronaut Dr. Norm Thagard, Mir 18 Mission Commander Vladimir N. Dezhurov and Mir 18 Flight Engineer Gennadiy M. Strekalov, will return to Earth in Atlantis.
