Navotas— the fishing capital of the [[Philippines]]— is located in the CAMANAVA region of Metro Manila. More than half the people living in this [[city]] earn a living through fishing or fishing related ventures. The reason for this is that numerous waterways including the Navotas River intersect this city. Likewise, this city is sandwiched between the Manila Bay (to its right) and the Laguna Bay (to its left).
In the past, Navotas and [[Malabon]] used to be one and the same place. Legend says that a narrow strip of Malabon was eaten away by the two seas surrounding it until an opening connecting the two bodies of water was made. It was then that the people in the area decided to rename the strip “butas” or “hole” which eventually evolved into the name Navotas. This place has come a long way since the days of old, and was officially founded as a city last [[June 24]], [[2007]].
As this city is surrounded by bodies of water flooding has always in been a problem in this city especially during the rainy season.
