History Conceptualization The project is an initiative of the administration of President Bongbong Marcos to rehabilitate and revitalize the Pasig River.
It was formally launched on July 23, 2025 through the signing of Executive Order 35, which created the Inter-Agency Council for the Pasig River Urban Development (IAC-PRUD) and obliged the new agency to formulate a Pasig River Urban Development Plan. By August 23, 2023, the IAC-PRUD completed the master plan for the project. The plan was made by WTA Architecture and Design Studio and PGAA Creative Design. On the following day, the project was formally launched as the Pasig Bigyan Buhay Muli (PBBM) project
It is a pet project of First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos.
