Abstract
Waste management among waterways is a continuous struggle amongst municipalities traversed by the Angat River in the Province of Bulacan amplified by climate change. The study assesses the effectiveness of environmental policies implemented by the LGU of Pulilan specifically waste management alongside the riverbanks of Angat. The paper utilizes a mixed method research model to accurately describe the existing status of the river and the extent of policy implementation. Results of the study show policy challenges such as effects towards lowland settlers and the changes of the Angat river’s condition due to pollution and climate change.
