A Trip down Pasig River

It's been a month already when two big typhoons hit the country. The whole country was awaken by this; opening everyone's eyes to the impact of our actions on the environment.


For the past weeks, the Grade 4 Galing Mo Kid! students have been learning about Heroism particularly on Being Heroes of the Environment. The ferry trip along Pasig River for the Grade 4 students gave the students and in depth understanding about the impacts of our actions on the environment. The trip was guided by Mr. Jimbo Mallari of the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission who shared to the students how the river looked like decades ago and how important it was in the development of Metro Manila.

The trip was a perfect introduction to the next module on Being Heroes of the Environment, focusing on Water Conservation.

Thank you to Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission for hosting the trip.
