The Department of Environment and Natural Resources-National Capital Region (DENR-NCR) has honored Navotas with the Green Legacy Award, recognizing the city’s consistent efforts in coastal and urban environmental management.

The annual award is given to institutions and local governments that demonstrate strong partnerships with the DENR-NCR in the restoration and management of natural resources across Metro Manila.

Navotas was specifically cited for its collaboration on solid waste management and community engagement programs. Among the city’s key environmental infrastructures is a specialized greenhouse and a materials recovery facility in Barangay Tanza 2, which serve as hubs for recycling and sustainable waste disposal.

Mayor John Rey Tiangco credited the award to the joint efforts of the city government and local residents.
