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.

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.

“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.

Navotas Rep. Tobias “Toby” Tiangco is hoping to take over from the incumbent mayor, younger brother John Rey Tiangco, who is on his last term.

The two are switching positions as John Rey is running for his brother’s seat in Congress.

Toby served as Navotas mayor from 2000 to 2010 before being elected as representative of the city’s lone district.

When he filed his certificate of candidacy (COC) in the Commission on Elections on Wednesday morning, Toby vowed to expand programs to address frequent flooding in the city.

“I decided to run as mayor again to continue the present projects in uplifting the quality of life of Navoteños. When I took over in [the year] 2000, Navotas was flooded 165 days a year because of high tide even when it was not raining,” he said.

“By the end of my term in 2010, Navotas had 23 pumping stations and flooding is not as serious as before. From 2010 to present under Mayor John Rey, they built an additional 36, so now we have 59,” Toby added.

Competing against him is first-term Councilor Dan Israel Ang who filed his COC on Monday.

The 28-year-old Ang hopes that Navoteños will support a new breed of politicians in the city. His running mate is Raymond Cruz, son of former city Vice Mayor Gardy Cruz.

In Valenzuela City, incumbent Mayor Rex Gatchalian is running for reelection with current Vice Mayor Lorrie Natividad.

His brother, 1st District Rep. Wes Gatchalian, is eyeing another term in Congress.

Incumbent Malabon Mayor Lenlen Oreta has his eye on a third term at City Hall as well, although his toughest challenger will be the current vice mayor, Jeannie Sandoval, who filed her COC on Wednesday.

Caloocan Mayor Oscar Malapitan was the first to file his COC for mayor on Oct. 12, the second day of filing. He is running unopposed.

He vowed to improve city jail facilities should he secure a third term in office. Malapitan said the capacity of Caloocan City Jail in Kaunlaran Village was only 120 although it now houses over 3,000 prisoners.

Nasa 287 rehistradong mangingisda ang nakatanggap ng mga 200-metrong bottom set gillnet na may iba ibang mesh size.Sa kanyang talumpati, binati ni Mayor Tiangco ang mga benepisyaryo at pinuri sa responsable nilang pangingisda.

“Bilang rehistradong mangingisda, sumusunod kayo sa mga patakaran ukol sa responsableng pangingisda at tumutulong kayo para manatiling balanse ang ekolohiya ng ating mga karagatan. Bilang kapalit, hangad naming ibigay sa inyo ang mga gamit na kailangan ninyo para dumami pa ang inyong huli,” aniya.

Ngayong taon, namigay ang Navotas ng 12 na 25-foot fiberglass boat na may 7.5hp diesel engine sa 24 mahihirap na mangingisdang Navoteño. Namigay rin ang lungsod ng mga lambat sa 116 mag-aalimasag.

Ibinalita rin ng alkalde na ipinasa na ang executive order sa Ulirang Pamilyang Mangingisda Scholarship. Ang mga hinirang na Top Ten Outstanding Fisherfolk, na iginagawad tuwing Navotas Day, ay maaaring mag-apply ng scholarship para sa isa niyang anak.

Samantala, hinikayat ni Cong. Tiangco ang mga benepisyaryo na himukin ang ibang mga mangingisdang Navoteño na magparehistro para makinabang rin sila sa mga programa ng lungsod.

Nitong 2018, nakipag-partner ang kanyang tanggapan sa Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources para magsagawa ng one-stop shop registration para sa mga mangingisda.

Ang nabanggit na mga sasakyang-pandagat ay gagamitin upang protektahan ang katubigan ng Pilipinas laban sa iligal na pangingisda at iba pang mga aktibidad tulad ng seaborne research, disaster relief at rescue operations.

Sinaksihan nina Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, BFAR Director Eduardo Gongona, Magdalo Representative Gary Alejano, Congressman Toby Tiangco at Mayor John Rey Tiangco ang seremonya.

Sa kanyang talumpati, ipinagmalaki ni Mayor Tiangco ang galing ng mga Navoteño at ipinabatid ang umuunlad na industriya ng paggawa ng mga sasakyang-pantubig o shipbuilding sa Navotas.

“Ang mga barkong ito ay bunga ng galing at kasanayan, at pagiging malikhain at maparaan ng mga Navoteño. Ang ating mamamayan ang tunay na lakas at kayamanan ng ating lungsod,” aniya.

“Noong ako pa ang namumuno sa Metro Manila Shipyard Association, marami akong napuntahang mga shipbuilding at ship-repair convention. Buong pagmamalaki kong masasabi na ang dalawang bagong MMOV’s na ito ay kasing-ganda ng kalidad sa mga barkong gawa sa ibang bansa,” pagdaragdag niya.

Samantala, bukas naman si Congressman Tiangco sa plano ng administrasyong Duterte na magkaroon ng mas marami pang barko na magbibigay-proteksyon sa katubigan ng bansa.

Ayon sa mambabatas, maraming Navoteño ang makikinabang kung matutuloy ang proyektong ito, kung saan lokal na industriya ang magsu-supply ng mga MMOVs.

“Buo ang aming suporta sa hangarin ng pamahalaan na mapangalagaan at maprotektahan ang ating mga karagatan, at gagawin namin ang aming makakaya upang makatulong sa pag-iingat ng ating mga katubigan at pangisdaan,” ani Congressman Tiangco.

Ang Navotas ang itinuturing na fishing capital ng bansa. Matatagpuan din rito ang 29 na mga kompanyang gumagawa o nagkukumpuni ng mga barko, at nagbibigay ng mga serbisyong tulad ng shipyard at dry-docking.

Sinimulan ng Josefa Slipways ang paggawa sa mga barko ng BFAR, na ngayo’y pinangalanan ng MMOV Lapu-lapu at MMOV Francisco Dagohoy, noong Enero 2016.

Ang dalawang sasakyang-pandagat ay nakahandang ikomisyon sa Oktubre at magkakaroon simbolikong paglalayag sa West Philippine Sea, Philippine Rise at Sulu Sea.

Namigay rin si Navotas Mayor John Rey Tiangco ng 14 50-inch smart TV sa Daanghari ES bilang bahagi ng suporta ng pamahalaang lungsod sa paggamit ng information and communications technology (ICT) para mapaganda ang kalidad ng edukasyon na binibigay sa kabataang Navoteño.

Muli ring binuksan sa publiko ng magkapatid na Tiangco ang Bangkulasi Bridge na sumailalim sa rehabilitasyon noong 2015. Sakay ng isang makalumang US Army jeep, tinawid ng magkapatid ang tulay para sa ceremonial ribbon cutting.
