Navotours will be used for city-funded student field trips to museums, universities, and colleges, government and private institutions, among others.

It will also serve as a means of transportation for students and teachers who attend competitions outside of Navotas.

“Our public school children deserve to have the same quality of education that students in private schools have. This includes being able to go to field trips and enjoy learning outside the classroom,” Navotas Rep. John Rey Tiangco said.

“Travel fosters learning and inspires one to dream. We hope that through Navotours, Navoteño students would gain enriching experiences that would lead them to aspire for greater things in life,” he added.

Tiangco related that when he was still mayor, he and some city department heads attended seminars abroad to learn about best practices in governance.“

One of the things we learned was about the importance of the fourth space in urban development. These include parks, open spaces, playgrounds or places that encourage social interactions even among strangers. And we have incorporated this in our city development plan,” he said.

Present during the Navotours launching were Mayor Toby Tiangco, Vice Mayor Clint Geronimo, and other city officials, OIC-Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Meliton Zurbano, teachers, students and officers of Parents-Teachers’ Association.

Benjamin Driguerro received a check worth P13,000 on Monday from Mayor Toby Tiangco and Aida Cristina Castro, Business Development and Marketing Specialist of Philippine Crop Insurance Corp.

He was the first registered fisherman in Navotas to receive such insurance claim from PCIC.“

This is one of the reasons our fisherfolk need to register under the Registry System for Basic Sectors in Agriculture. As registered members, they may claim for insurance if their boats or fishing gears get damaged by calamities,” Tiangco said.

“Registered Navoteño fisherfolk may also avail of the NavoBangka and fishnets program of the city government,” he added.

PCIC insurance is free and covers rice crops, corn crops, high-value crops, livestock, fisheries, and non-crop agricultural assets.

Fisherfolk who wish to apply for the insurance may coordinate with the City Agriculture Office at 281-8531 local 112.
