Marcos inspects damaged navigational gate, evac center in Navotas
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. visited Navotas City to inspect the Tangos-Tanza (Malabon-Navotas) Navigational Gate and check on residents at the Tanza National High School evacuation center.
The 30-year-old navigational gate is a critical barrier against high tides and flooding, and its damage has caused severe flooding in Malabon and Navotas.
Both Navotas City and Malabon City have declared a state of calamity due to the widespread flooding.
The flooding was exacerbated by the enhanced southwest monsoon, high tides, and the collapse of a river wall in Barangay San Jose, Navotas.
The President was accompanied by Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco and Navotas City Mayor John Rey Tiangco during the inspection.
Marcos interacted with residents, particularly children, displaced by the floods at the evacuation center.
