[Title] => Pasig River swimming ban sought
[Summary] => Pointing out the health dangers of swimming in the dirty Pasig River, a Manila City councilor has filed an ordinance discouraging residents from bathing in it.

In his bill, Veloso said all barangay officials, whose jurisdictions include the banks of the Pasig River, will be ordered to inform residents of the dangers of swimming in the river through billboards.
