The “Gabi ng Parangal” also recognized the top business and real estate taxpayers whose exemplary compliance supports the delivery of inclusive economic growth under the administration of Mayor Jeannie.
The top corporate taxpayers include Malabon Soap and Oil, Maynilad Water Services, First PGMC Enterprises, Coca-Cola FEMSA Philippines, MSO Premium Oil Corporation, Manly Plastics Inc., Good 555 Deal Trading Corporation, Basic Packaging Corporation, MC Master Siomai Hut, and Starbright Office Depot. under the Single Proprietorship category.

Malabon’s series of special events will culminate with its Ginoo and Binibining Malabon pageant, whose winners will not only receive exciting prizes but will also serve as the city’s “ambassadors” promoting Malabon’s rich culture and heritage.
