The Marikina City government continues the dredging of the Marikina River as part of the Build Back Better city project.
The city’s Build Back Better (BBB) project, which was established in February 2021, is geared towards rehabilitating the Marikina river.
BBB’s initiatives include widening, deepening, and dredging the riverbed of silt and debris as well as removing illegally built structures along the river.
BBB was initiated in collaboration with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).
