MAYOR BARCELONA ORDERS DEMOLITION of ILLEGAL STRUCTURES at DANAO
RIVER
January 2005
Danao River is the biggest and the most vital river of the city.
Originating from the mountain barangays of the town of Toboso, the
river cuts through the middle of the Escalante territory like a
knife on a cake. From Brgy. Pinapugasan, it snakes through ten other
barangays of the city and empties its waters into the Tañon
Strait.
At the mouth of the river at Sitio Danao, Brgy. Old Poblacion are
located four ports, one government and two private. The private
ports are the Marañon port, the Yap port and farther down
below the Barcelona RORO port; The government port is the Port of
Danao run by the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA). Except for the
Barcelona and the Yap RORO ports, the Marañon and the Danao
ports are virtually dead.
