Local governments should oppose the Pasig River Expressway
ONE of the reasons to be grateful in 2023 is that the Pasig River Expressway (Parex) project of SMC Infrastructure has still not been granted an environmental compliance certificate (ECC) by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). For the project to proceed, Parex needs to secure an ECC as well as permits from each of the local governments along its path.
