Heavy monsoon rains create rivers of sewage in the Philippines – photos
Monsoon rains that have continued for several days in the Philippines have exacerbated the problem of sewage. In the agglomeration that includes the capital Manila and its surrounding areas, sewage has accumulated in reservoirs. Workers are trying to clean rivers and canals before the sewage reaches the pumping station.
The country's President Ferdinand Marcos described the situation with sewage pollution as very serious. He once again emphasized the need to solve the problem of improper disposal and introduce a waste-to-energy program.
Below are photos that reflect the situation in the Philippines.
