The 103rd anniversary celebration of the
founding of Navotas City came to a glittering climax with a
celebrity-studded show and a spectacular fireworks display.
Navoteños jammed Centennial Park in the
heart of city for a two-hour musical treat from top performers
and entertainment personalities.
Ai-Ai Delas Alas showed the crowd why she
is the top comedy draw. Also rocking the stage were Rachelle
Ann Go, Billy Crawford, Kitkat, Gerald Santos, Blakdyak, Bugoy
Drilon, Aljur Abrenica, Kris Bernal, EB Babes, Ogie Diaz and
the Sandwich Band.
The crowd stayed on for a breathtaking
pyrotechnic show that lasted for 30 minutes.
Thoroughly enjoying the proceedings was
Navotas City Mayor Toby Tiangco, who has through the years
made sure that the city’s anniversary is a memorable event for
the townsfolk.
"I still have grand plans for Navotas. I
strongly believe that we can achieve our full potential for
growth and development if we continue to pursue our dream for
a better tomorrow," Mayor Tiangco said.
Navotas used to be part of Malabon. It achieved cityhood in
2007 mainly through Tiangco’s initiative. It has 14 barangays
with a population of 265,000.
