The international beauties of Miss Earth 2013 showed their love for the newly rehabilitated Estero de Santibañez in its inauguration spearheaded by ABS-CBN Foundation–Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig (KBPIP) recently. The candidates took the lead in painting the houses lined along the estero to further beautify the community. They also joined the ceremonial throwing of bokashi balls or mabuhay balls in the estero that help in improving its water quality. The clean-up of the 430-meter Estero de Santibañez started in February 2013.
The infrastructure development of the project was funded with P13.69 million by the Department of Public Works ang Highways. It is one of the 16 esteros in Manila and Quezon City the KBPIP have been rehabilitating in partnership with Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission.
KBPIP aims to revive the beauty of the historic Pasig River by rehabilitating Metro Manila’s esteros.
