A 2025 peer-reviewed source-tracking study, sampling alongside the environment bureau and the river office between December 2021 and May 2023, found sewage to be the dominant source of fecal pollution at both Pasig River stations: 38% of the downstream signal and 22% upstream, with animal sources under 1%.
This layer records what is known about each source, what is still missing, and the exact snapshot this page is rendering. A missing date, archive or hash stays visible as missing.
Awaiting operator and domain-expert review; publication of this revision implies neither.

src-a949a103fa0866a6Primary. The 18 December 2008 continuing mandamus orders the environment department as lead, plus eleven other agencies, to restore Manila Bay and its tributaries to swimmable quality, sets the 200 MPN per 100 mL fecal coliform bar for contact recreation, and requires each agency head to submit a quarterly progressive report to the court.
src-6f95c159c3d8f11cPeer-reviewed. Describes PRUMS as an interagency programme under the environment department and the Pasig River coordinating and management office that standardises stations and data for public reporting; confirms the parameter list is fixed by a 2016 departmental order, and that the river was pronounced biologically dead in 1990.
src-31fa7c1ba5758b27Peer-reviewed and independent. Samples taken December 2021 to May 2023 alongside the environment bureau and the river office; genetic source tracking attributes the dominant Pasig fecal signal to sewage, 38 percent at the downstream station and 22 percent upstream, with animal sources below one percent.
src-8974396294d3da45Primary. Signed 8 November 2019, it abolishes the dedicated river rehabilitation commission and reassigns its functions across five bodies, which is why the monitoring now sits with the environment bureau rather than a river-specific agency.
