    More of Malabon Landmarks

    Malabon as it is today is a thriving commercial and industrial urban city,


    rich in marine resources and a productive fishing industry. It has
    contributed much to the economy of the region and has also become a
    manufacturing base as well.  It also has many worthwhile attractions one
    should definitely visit to get a grasp of the historic yet progressive
    character of the city.

    Balsa sa Niugan

    Started in July 1998, Balsa sa Niugan is owned by Mr. Santy Geronimo, a


    native from Niugan. It has a total land area of 5,000 sq. meters, in both
    land and water. Located at the heart of Malabon, Balsa was originally a
    fishpond converted into a floating restaurant and a fishing garden. Its
    natural landscape, fishing and open dining facilities make it a pleasurable
    place for guests to dine.
    Epifanio Cristobal Delos Santos Monument
    Generally regarded as the foremost scholar, Epifanio de los Santos, a
    Malabon native, reaffirms what the Filipino can accomplish with his native
    genius & ability coupled with proper background & incentive. With the
    possible exception of Rizal, Epifanio de los Santos went one step further
    than most of the brilliant minds that preceded him because of his
    versatility.
    Gregorio Gozon Sanciangco's Historical Marker
    A native of Tonsuya, Malabon, Gregorio Gozon Sanciangco is the son of
    Eladio Sanciangco and Regina Gozon. He started schooling at an early age
    until he finished his Bachelor’s degree from Colegio de San Juan de Letran
    and his course in Law at the University of Santo Tomas. In 1878, Gregorio
    Sanciangco left for Spain to enroll in the Universidad Central de Madrid
    where he was conferred the title of Doctor of Laws and a Licensure in
    Administrative Law.
    He wrote "EL PROGRESO DE FILIPINAS", a book on economic and
    political studies of the Philippines. It advocated reforms in the political,
    administrative, agrarian, revenues, property, natural resources and urban
    development, taxation and proposed legislation for the implementation of
    such reforms. Because of this book, he was given tribute by Dr. Jose P.
    Rizal in the introduction of his work Sobre La Indolencia delos Filipinos.

    Angel C. Cacnio's Art Gallery

    The gallery is a depository of paintings and sculptures done by the noted


    members of the Sining Tambobong Foundation. Contemporary and
    Modern Malabon painters and sculptors are members of this Foundation.
    Their works are displayed in both national and international art
    exhibitions.

    Residence of Luis Santos Jr.


    It is a collection of revolutionary documents and Spanish artifacts.
    Malabon's contributions to the nation’s history for independence are
    reflected from the display of various revolutionary materials used by the
    revolutionary soldiers of Malabon.
    Tanong Fish Market

    Visit Malabon and experience the traditional native fish trading called
    "BULUNGAN". Bulungan is a bidding practice that started during the
    Spanish era at the fishing market along the Malabon - Navotas River and is
    still being done up to this day at the Tanong Fish Market. This kind of fish
    trading culture is preserved and handed down from one generation to
    another. It is unique and distinctively Malabon because it does not follow
    the normal process of bidding. Instead, the spirit of bidding to know the
    highest bidder is not documented but rather done secretly through silent
    whispering of bidders' pricing. In essence, this practice is to sell fish to
    retailers in Metro Manila and other provinces. Fish traders come from the
    fish ports of Navotas and nearby provinces particularly Bulacan. Usual
    active time of Bulungan is from 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM.

    San Bartolome Church


    It is a known fact that the history of the Philippines is relevant to the
    growth of Christianity. Without exemption, this was the experience of the
    historical path of San Bartolome Church. Tambobong, the original name of
    Malabon was founded as a visita of Tondo on May 21, 1599 and continued
    as such until 1611. The term visita refers to a town or barrio not erected yet
    as an independent town or parish.  In 1614, it was made as an independent
    parish and on the 17th of May 1614, Fr. Luis Gutierrez, OSA, became the
    first parish priest. From 1614 up to 2003 a total of 101 priests served the
    church.

    Chung-Gu Korea Friendship Park

    This park is dedicated to give life and meaning to the city's desire to
    establish the real foundation for a lasting world peace through the
    furtherance of better understanding and friendly relations with our
    neighboring countries. It was constructed with the hope of further
    strengthening the friendship ties between the people of Malabon City,
    Philippines and the people of Chung-Gu District, Taejon City, Korea.

    Malabon Zoo and Aquarium


    A well kept and unique conservatory of both endemic and exotic animals,
    including a large variety of unusual fishes stashed inside a one-hectare
    tropical rainforest environment. An amusing destination for the old and
    the young, it indulges its visitors with the distinct privilege to pet wild
    animals that normally avoid human contact. The zoo is likewise an
    accommodating classroom for nature lovers because it educates people on
    environmental preservation of forests and wildlife.
