‘Navotours’ buses ready to roll out

admin — Sun, 28 Jul 2019 23:00:46 +0000

The City Government of Navotas has launched the Navotours bus for public elementary and high schools in the city.

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.

Navoteño Couples Exchange ‘I Dos’ in Kasalang Bayan

admin — Sun, 17 Feb 2019 08:00:48 +0000

Some 50 couples in Navotas celebrate Valentine’s Day in a more special way this year as they gathered to exchange vows in a ‘Kasalang Bayan’ as their families and friends bore witness to their love.

Mayor John Rey Tiangco, together with Rep. Toby Tiangco and Vice Mayor Clint Geronimo, led the ceremony.

Also present in the event were Councilors Neil Cruz, Arnel Lupisan, Alfredo Vicencio, Jack Santiago and Alvin Nazal; former councilor Eddie Maño; Junior Chamber International-Navotas Chapter President Migi Naval; Navotas Clutch player RV Vicencio; and youth representative CJ Santos.

Of the couples who were joined in matrimony, a pair stood out as their relationship was already fortified by 17 years of living together. Jose Rodrigo Burgos, 56, and Araceli Hidalgo, 54, exchanged ‘I dos’ as their five children looked on contentedly.

Tiangco, in his speech, said he was more than happy to once again lend a helping hand to couples of different ages and stories, and from different walks of life. “Some of these couples have been living together for more than 10 years. Tatay Jose and Nanay Araceli almost made it to 20. They had been through many highs and lows, but they were able to withstand and endure it all. It is my honor to finally solemnize and legalize their union,” he said.

The mayor encouraged the newlyweds to devotedly believe in their love for each other as they continue on their journey as a married couple and as responsible parents for their children.

“The love that brought the two of you together, the love that made you marry each other, the love that gave you beautiful children, use that love to stay faithful and true. Use that love to give your children a complete and happy family for as long as you can,” Tiangco said.

The mass wedding is a bi-annual event of the Navotas City Government, which is held in line with Valentine’s Day and the cityhood anniversary of Navotas.

Malasakit Center Binuksan sa Navotas

admin — Fri, 15 Feb 2019 08:00:48 +0000

Para makapaghandog ng mas madaling access sa mas maraming tulong medikal mula sa pamahalaan, binuksan ng Navotas ang Malasakit Center nito sa Navotas City Hospital (NCH).

Pinangunahan nina Mayor John Rey Tiangco, Cong. Toby Tiangco at Presidential Assistant to the Visayas Sec. Michael Lloyd Dino ang pagpapasinaya kasama ang mga opisyal ng lungsod at mga barangay.

“Nagpapasalamat tayo na dito sa Navotas itinatag ang ika-25 na Malasakit Center sa Pilipinas. Mas madali na ngayon at mas kombinyente para sa mga Navoteño na kumuha ng medical assistance mula sa iba-ibang ahensya ng gobyerno,” ani Mayor Tiangco.

Ang Malasakit Center ay isang one-stop shop na naghahandog ng serbisyong medikal at tulong pinansyal mula sa Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp., Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (Philhealth), Department of Health (DoH), at Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

P5 milyon ang paunang ibinigay sa NCH mula sa Presidential Social Fund (PSF) para masimulan ang operasyon ng center.

“Bagaman may medical assistance at hospitalization program ang ating pamahalaang lungsod, malaki ang tulong na hatid ng pagkakaroon ng sarili nating Malasakit Center para masiguro na hindi kailangan gastahin ng mga Navoteño ang perang kanilang pinaghirapan para sa mga gastusing medikal,” dagdag ni Mayor Tiangco.

Samantala, sinabi ni Cong. Tiangco na ang NCH Malasakit Center ay nabuo mula sa pangako ni dating Special Assistant to the President Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go sa mga Navoteño na magkakaroon sila ng madaling access sa tulong medikal.

“Sa isang pagbisita sa Brgy. Tangos at matapos makausap ang mga survivor ng sunog, nangako si SAP Bong Go na isusulong niya ang pagkakaroon ng Malasakit Center dito sa Navotas. Ito ang katuparan sa pangakong iyon,” kwento niya.

Para makinabang sa serbisyo ng Malasakit Center, kailangan magdala ng hospital billing at medical abstract. Hindi na kailangang magpasa ng certificate of indigency.

Bahay ang ipinamasko ng Pamahalaang Lungsod ng Navotas City sa mga pamilyang Navoteño na dating nakatira malapit sa dagat o ilog.

Animnapung pamilyang Navoteño ang magdidiriwang ngayon ng Pasko sa bago nilang bahay matapos pasinayaan at basbasan ang NavoHomes Dagat-dagatan sa Brgy. North Bay Boulevard South-Dagat-dagatan.

“Isang ligtas na tahanan kung saan pwedeng bumuo ng mga pangarap ang isang pamilya—‘yan ang gusto natin para sa bawat pamilyang Navoteño. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit nagsisikap tayong maialis ang mga pamilyang naninirahan sa tinuturing na danger areas at mabigyan sila ng disente at ligtas na tahanan,” ani Mayor John Rey Tiangco.

Hinikayat naman ni Cong. Toby Tiangco ang mga benepisyaryo ng pabahay na lumahok sa mga programa ng pamahalaang lungsod.“

Naghahandog ang ating lokal na pamahalaan ng mga scholarship, medical assistance, kabuhayan, at iba pa. Samantalahin ninyo ang mga ito dahil ito’y ginawa para matulungan kayo at ang inyong pamilya na magkaroon ng magandang bukas,” saad niya.

May limang in-city housing projects ang Navotas na nakalaan sa 1,800 mga pamilya. Para maging benepisyaryo, kailangan nilang sumailalim sa drug test para masiguro na payapa ang mga komunidad sa pabahay.

Nitong Nobyembre, pinasinayaan ng lungsod ang lima sa walong gusali ng NavotaAs Homes Tanza II sa Brgy. Tanza 2. Ang nasabing pabahay ay maaaring tirhan ng 408 mga pamilya.

Mahihirap na Mangingisdang Navoteño, Nakatanggap ng mga Bangka

admin — Mon, 10 Dec 2018 08:00:42 +0000

Namahagi ang Pamahalaang Lungsod ng Navotas ng mga fiberglass na bangka at mga lambat sa 80 mahihirap na mangingisdang Navoteño.

Pinangunahan nina Mayor John Rey Tiangco, Vice Mayor Clint Geronimo at Cong. Toby Tiangco, kasama ang mga opisyal ng lungsod at si Pierre Velasco ng Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, ang pamimigay ng mga ito Lunes ng umaga.

Ang mga bangka, na may 18 hp engine, ay ipinamigay nang libre sa mga kwalipikadong benepisyaryo ng NavoBangka-buhayan Program.“Ayon sa mga pag-aaral, nananatiling mahirap ang mga mahihirap dahil wala silang regular na kita. Anuman ang kanilang kinikita, ginagasta agad nila ito sa kanilang mga pangangailangan. Hindi nila ito napaplano nang maayos dahil meron sila parating pagkakagastusan,” ani Mayor Tiangco sa mga benepisyaryo.

“Ayaw namin ang ganitong buhay para sa inyo kaya nagsisikap kaming ibigay sa inyo ang inyong mga pangangailangan para magkaroon kayo ng regular na pagkakakitaan. Gamitin ninyo ang bangka at lambat na aming ibinigay para matustusan ang gastusin ng inyong pamilya. Ipunin ninyo kahit ang pinakahuling sentimo at iwasang malulong sa bisyo,” dagdag niya.

Pinaalalahanan din ng nakababatang Tiangco ang mga benepisyaryo na maging responsable sa pangingisda at tumulong sa pangangalaga at pagpreserba sa kalikasan.Samantala, binate ni Cong. Tiangco ang mga benepisyaryo at sinabi niyang hangad din ng pamahalaang lungsod na matulungan hindi lang sila kundi pati na ang mga Navoteño na nangangailangan ng hanapbuhay.

“Ipinapatayo natin ang dalawang training center para sa mga nais magkaroon ng technical-vocational skills. Meron din tayong mga entrepreneurship caravan para maturuan ang mga Navoteño kung paano magsimula ng sariling negosyo,” aniya.

Kabilang sa mga benepisyaryo ng NavoBangka-buhayan Program ang mga mahihirap na rehistradong mangingisda. Kailangan nilang sumailalim at pumasa sa drug test, at panatlihin ang “good moral standing” sa komunidad.

Ang pamahalaang lungsod ang bumili ng mga materyales para sa paggawa ng fiberglass na mga bangka. Ang BFAR naman ang nagbigay ng training sa mga benepisyaryo kung paano ito gawin at ikumpuni.

Sinabi rin ni Mayor Tiangco na may natitira pang materyales para makagawa ng lima hanggang sampung bangka. Aniya, hihiling siya ng karagdagang pondo sa Sangguniang Panlungsod para mas marami pang fiberglass na bangka ang maaaring gawin.

Grab Cars Back in Navotas After Tiangco’s Threat of Congressional Probe

admin — Fri, 07 Dec 2018 08:00:08 +0000

Residents of Navotas City can now book vehicles from the ride hailing service Grab, weeks after Rep. Toby Tiangco asked Congress to probe the seeming selectiveness of the company in which areas to service.

Councilor Ethel Joy Arriola-Mejia shared on Facebook that she was able to book a Grab Car from Navotas City Hall on December 3.

“To All NAVOTAS GRAB USERS, may GRAB CAR na po kung ang pick-up point ay Navotas! Hindi na puro Grab taxi lang ang lalabas pag nagbook. Thank you Grab Philippines and Congressman Toby Tiangco!” she said.

Arriola-Mejia expressed hope that the supply of Grab Car vehicles for Navotas residents will not be gone after a few days or weeks.

Tiangco in November filed House Resolution 2303 after receiving complaints from his constituents about the supposed lack of service vehicles from Grab in the city.

He said Grab has been committing violations because of its “refusal to service the people of Navotas City” even if the area is within Metro Manila.
