Philippine Fisheries Development Authority(PFDA)

Iam Aljohn G. Cruz, a 5th year student at National University Baliwag, currently conducting my undergraduate thesis entitled “SUKI: Redevelopment of Navotas Fish Port Through CommunityCentered Design and Climate-Resilient Architecture for Sustainable Coastal Development.” This research focuses on integrating sustainable and inclusive design solutions in coastal infrastructures to benefit both the environment and small-scale fisherfolk. As part of my research, I am verifying the official ownership and management authority of the Navotas Fish Port Complex and gathering technical information on the ongoing reclamation project within the area. This request is made to confirm the information provided by the Navotas City Hall, which stated that there are no existing Transfer Certificates of Title (TCTs) for the Navotas Fish Port property. In line with this, I would like to respectfully request the following information and documents from your esteemed office: 1. Certification or official document confirming that the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) is the legal owner and managing authority of the Navotas Fish Port Complex. 2. Technical details of the ongoing reclamation project, specifically including: a. The scope and exact location of the reclamation within the complex. b. The depth and elevation changes before and after reclamation. c. The type and source of fill materials used (e.g., sand, dredged material, aggregates). d. The construction methodology and equipment applied. e. The estimated or approved total project cost, funding source, and implementing contractor or agency. g. The intended use or development purpose of the reclaimed area once completed. The requested information will be used solely for academic and research purposes in support of my undergraduate thesis and will be treated with strict confidentiality.
