Marcos inspects damaged navigational gate, evac center in Navotas
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. inspected the damaged Tangos-Tanza (Malabon-Navotas) Navigational Gate in Navotas City.
The 30-year-old navigational gate is a critical barrier against high tide and flooding, and its damage has caused severe flooding in Malabon and Navotas.
He also visited Tanza National High School, serving as an evacuation center for displaced residents, and interacted with families there.
Marcos was accompanied by Navotas City Representative Toby Tiangco and Mayor John Rey Tiangco during the inspection.
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 damage to the navigational gate.
