    Navotas is the place where you can buy the best "patis" a fish sauce, used to be a very beautiful place but now is overcrowded. This is where I grew up and went to school in San Jose Academy near San Jose Church, I remember people paying my mom the freshest and biggest fish, shrimp and vegetables when I was a child, money is rarely use then by the poor people of Navotas as they are mostly fishermen or working as farmers, life is simpler then. Used to be a lot of trees, acacia and others, and vegetable farms and tall grass, malinaw pa ang dagat noon sa Navotas that you could swim at may mga batis pa,at fresh air, uso pa ang kangkungan noon at other gulayan but now its all gone. I remember seeing nuns and old Spanish houses and the old San Jose Church and Central school then. I miss Navotas very much.

    I've seen the developments of this city where i grew up. It's unbelievable how this city turned into something which the people of Navotas can be proud of. Of course, all these things could not be attained if not for the discipline and hardships of our people and specially of our city's leader, Mayor Toby, who is so dedicated to uplift the lives of the us Navoteño. May you continue to be our inspiration in our daily lives. You are the best, indeed!
