I've been residing in Malabon for 19 years now, whenever I go out and travel I always get pissed by traffic, by smokes that vehicles produce it makes my asthma worse.
I always love to travel, to places outside Manila where there's no smoke belching vehicles, no sound pollution, air pollution but reaching this places is too expensive and time consuming.
Living in Malabon is such an overwhelming experience for me. It is a lovely place to be in, even if there is always flood. We have a lot of products and personalities to be proud of. First in the list is Pancit Malabon, Sarah Geronimo, Erick Santos and Angelica dela Cruz also hails from our City.
Flood. It has been linked to our City's name for the past decade but some of the citizens here are living and earning money by means of water. Fishing is the main jobs of the people here, we have one of the most freshest fish in town.
Being a river way back then, boating is the main means of transportation when Malabon was founded. But until now, it has been one of the most stress free means of travel to neighboring town and cities. In just 5 to 10 minutes you can reach Navotas without the noise of the jeepney's horn, without passing by busy streets and traffic.
With just 3 pesos in your pocket you can visit our neighboring City, Navotas and take a boat ride experience in our native boats which are usually made of aged woods and are being sailed manually.
Routes are two ways, boats will just sail across the river and it has its own station in Navotas.
Here are some photos of Malabon-Navotas ride via boat.
