Tagalag Fishing Village, the first fishing village in the city of Valenzuela, was formally inaugurated on February 15, 2020.
“Valenzuela City’s best kept secret” lies beside a 1,300-meter boardwalk, light posts and fence adorned with statues of fish that can be caught there. It was constructed in order to preserve the fishing site.
There are various activities being offered in the area such as recreational fishing, line fishing tutorials, bird watching, boating, photowalk and sunset watching. Migratory birds could be seen in the distance.
Tilapia, bangus, hito, and other types of fish can be caught in the fishing site.
Barangay Tagalag edit
Tagalag is bounded by Polo River in the west, Meycauayan River in the north and Coloong river in the east.
“Tagalag” is from the word “alog” which refers to the shallow part of a river that can be forded.
The 101-hectare Barangay has 22 fishponds with an average depth of 9 feet and was declared as “city ecotourism zone” in 2016.
In order to promote responsible and sustainable tourism, accreditation and tourism standards are being maintained by community-based tourism council. Park rangers also enforce Tagalag Linear Park rules to maintain peaceful and cleanliness in the village.
