The City of Navotas is a city in
Metro Manila, Philippines. The city occupies a narrow strip of land along the
eastern shores of Manila Bay. Navotas is directly north of Manila, west of
Malabon City, and south of Obando, Bulacan.
Dubbed as the "Fishing Capital of the Philippines", Navotas is considered to be
a very important fishing community with 70% of its population deriving their
livelihood directly or indirectly from fishing and its related industries like
fish trading, fish net mending, and fish producing having marginal percentage of
inter-Island fish producers. Navotas occupies a portion of the Metropolitan
Manila bound in the west with shoreline of Manila Bay, which is a strategic
coastal front and suitable for all kinds of vessels.
Navotas is part of the informal subregion of Metro Manila
called CAMANAVA. This subregion, aside from Navotas, includes the cities of
Caloocan, Malabon, and Valenzuela. Navotas is perceived to be prone to flood
especially during the rainy season and during high tide, but the national and
local government are trying to alleviate the problem. Pollution and
overpopulation are other problems that the government is trying to solve.
Navotas is famous for fish sauce and shrimp paste (patis and bagoong in Tagalog
respectively).
Navotas celebrates its foundation day every
January 16 and it becomes a city after a plebiscite was held on June 24, 2007.
