The BYOB Effect

Before implementation of City
Ordinance 10-109, waterways in
Muntinlupa would be clogged with
all sorts of trash (plastic mostly),
especially after a downpour. Over
the years, the situation continued
to worsen such that even a little
rain could cause major
obstruction of water flow in the
citys rivers and tributaries, and
give rise to floods.

The BYOB Effect

(From L-R) The waters of Balimbing, Poblacion and Magdaong

rivers flow unobstructed even after a heavy downpour

The BYOB Effect

(From L-R) Bayanan River, Palico River and Sto. Nio Creek are
noticeably garbage- free, minimizing flooding at low-level parts of the
City.

The BYOB Effect

Drainages are noticeably trash-free so water flows freely.

The BYOB Effect

Waterflow in creeks is unrestricted.

The BYOB Effect

Tributaries are no longer clogged even after the rains.

The BYOB Effect

The citys waterways are now more efficient because of the significant
reduction
in plastic trash.
