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.

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.
