From a fishing town nestled along the waters off Manila Bay, Malabon has transformed into a thriving urban hub.

- Mark Ernest Villeza

Malabon celebrated yesterday its 24th cityhood anniversary, a milestone in a journey that began with a collective vote of over 168,000 residents who envisioned a more progressive future for their community.

The city's founding as a highly urbanized area was formalized with the passage of Republic Act 9019 in 2001, authored by then congressman Ricky Sandoval and supported by former mayor Amado Vicencio.

The law, which was ratified through a plebiscite, granted Malabon its status as a city and unlocked increased funding from the national government.
