Dear Sir/Madam:
I have edited the text of your article correcting the portion of PRRC implementing the Piso Para sa Pasig Campaign. It is the Clean and gren Foundation, Inc. that implemented it in support of the Government Program. Clean and Green Foundation, Inc. is headed by Amelita M. Ramos our former first lady. We hope that the corrections can be reflected on other articles that has been distributed through the net. Thank you.

[edit] Napindan Channel
For the benefit of all, I am posting a copy of my conversation with seav.
On 11:16, 5 November 2007, seav sent me this message:
I get conflicting sources saying either that Napindan is just the upper portion of Pasig River or that Pasig River only starts where Napindan and Marikina River meet. Is there any official source for any of these? Who's the best authority to say what's the status of Napindan vis-a-vis Pasig River? --seav 11:16, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
My reply:
Yes, the references do sound confusing about whether the Napindan channel is part of the Pasig or not. At nangunguna sa pagcontribute sa confusion yung Pasig river article. If you can go to a nearby Powerbooks, you might be able to find Pasig:River of Life, Edited by Reynaldo Alejandro and Alfred Yuson (Metro Manila: Unilever Philippines, Inc.,2000.). It's one of three unilever-published Alejandro books covering the Manila Bay-Pasig-Laguna Lake system. I do not have a copy of the volume but that is the first authoritative source I can think of, short of visiting the LGUs involved or perhaps the LLDA. I am of the opinion that the Napindan should be considered part of the Pasig, with Laguna de Bay being the main source of the Pasig whenever the lake water level is lower than that of Manila Bay, and vice versa when the water levels are reversed. A look a the map convinces me of this. But obviously, since I have not made a Napindan Channel article, I'm not all that confident. Hehe. I've been sitting here for the better part of an hour agonizing over whether I can give you a more definitive answer, but I suppose this is as good as it gets for now. I'll set my research assistant on the problem right away. (She has texted back that she too thinks of Napindan as part of the Pasig.) By the way, if you're ever in a position to get a good snapshot of the area of the The Napindan Hydraulic Control Structure, would you mind snapping one for the Pasig River article? I've tried several times but I can never get a good shot. The ideal time would be while stuck in traffic on the bridge that crosses the Pasig. Or I suppose we could get a shot off google earth instead. (I'm not familiar enough with the google earth program to figure out how to take images of my search area yet.) Wish I could have been more helpful, dude. Alternativity 17:24, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I would like to solicit more thoughts on the matter....? Alternativity 17:29, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
