The anniversary celebration was held at the Market Hall 1 of the Navotas Fish Port Complex (NFPC) and spearheaded by PFDA General Manger, Atty. Glen A. Pangapalan and PFDA Assistant General Manager Atty. Loralie C. Datahan. The celebration was held two days before the actual foundation date, August 11, which falls on a Saturday.
The festivities were graced by the presence of Hon. Christopher Bong Go, Special Assistant to President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, as the keynote speaker, PFDA Clients/Stakeholders, Port Managers of PFDA’s regional fish ports and PFDA employees. In his message SAP Go emphasized that “The President’s Priority Projects (Infrastructure Flagship Projects) includes the PFDA’s upgrading/rehabilitation of Navotas Fish Port Complex (NFPC) which was included in the 2019 National Expenditure Program and it will be implemented from 2019 to 2023”.
