Excerpt from The Philippines: A Geographical Reader
The Pasig flows from Laguna de Bay into the Bay of Manila. The city of Manila is built on both sides of this river near its mouth. Large bridges cross the river and connect the two parts of the city.
The Pasig is a short river. It is only about twelve miles long. It has a very swift current. Steamers, cascos, and bancas going up stream move much more slowly than when coming down. The cur rent is dangerous also. It is said that some one is drowned in the Pasig on nearly every day in the year. Bancas and cascos are paddled and poled up the river.
The large bridges across the Pasig in Manila are built of stone and iron. They are very strong. Many people, horses, and wagons cross them every day. This is a picture of the Bridge of Spain.
