MANILA, Philippines — Around 96 truckloads of trash were hauled Wednesday, Aug. 12, from the Redemptorist Water Channel in Parañaque City, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) reported.
The accumulated trash was due to intense rains over the past few days brought by the enhanced southwest monsoon, or habagat, according to the Parañaque City government.
