would be in charge of planning and implementing rules and
regulations to address the above mentioned community

Anak ng Pasig
Ako'y umusbong sa tabi ng Pasig
Nagisnan ang ilog na itim ang tubig
Lumaking paligid ng bundok na umuusok
Langhap na langhap ang amoy ng basurang
bulok
Ito ang buhay ng anak ng Pasig
Pa-swimming swimming sa itim na tubig
Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
Playground lang ang bundok ng basura mo
Tapon doon, tapon dito
Musika'y ugong ng kotse at bangka n'yo
Di n'yo alam ang tinatapon n'yo
Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
Ay bukas ko at ng buong mundo
Kalat doon, kalat dito
Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
Natakpan na ang langit kong ito
May bukas pa ang ating mundo
Nilason din ang Ilog ko
Akala ko'y ganoon talaga ang mundo
Hanggang nakakita ako ng lumang litrato
Di maniwalang Pasig din ang tinitignan ko
Kaibigan ano ang nangyari dito
(Anong nangyari? Anong nangyari?)
Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
Kalat doon, kalat dito
Natakpan na ang langit kong ito
Nilason din ang Ilog ko
Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
Tapon doon, tapon dito
Di n'yo alam ang tinatapon n'yo
Ay bukas ko at ng buong mundo
Huli na ba ang lahat
Patay na ba ang ilog at dagat
Kapag Pasig ay pinabayaan
Parang bukas ang tinalikuran
Anak ng Pasig naman kayo
Kalat doon, kalat ditoNatakpan na ang langit
kong ito
Nilason din ang Ilog ko
