The river in Mogpog



Mogpog river is one of the few tributaries that originates from the municipality's main watershed area. This watershed area is within the periphery of the same earth dam built for the mines that collapsed, polluting the Mogpog River instantaneously in 1993, never allowing it to recover until today. There, the colors of the water range from peach to brown to gruesome red and toxic green or violet ending up in Tablas Strait.

My friend, JR Baculado created a video of the place as it looks today, one that seems to express hope and prayer that growth and familiar flowers that bloom in abundance elsewhere on the island could still find their way into this degraded area one day in the not-too-distant future.
