Valenzuela Grooves back Mega Zumba, Tips Off Valenzuela Olympics 2025

Now on its third run, the largest Zumba party in Valenzuela City known as “Mega Zumba: Mag-WESxercise Tayo!” has brought Valenzuelanos up on their feet for an adrenaline-pumping Zumba exercise once again. The local government's annual free dance program headed by Mayoress Tiffany Gatchalian aims to promote wellness in the mind and body through a series of upbeat dance exercises facilitated by professional Zumba instructors.

 

Mega Zumba 3 offered leveled-up Zumba dance segments this year by having a special guest — actress, model, and Zumba advocate Ina Raymundo — take the stage and lead the fitness dances along with Zumba instructor, John Carlo Rasay. Just before the break of dawn, about 2,500 Valenzuelanos of all ages hailing from different barangays showed up with their colorful outfits, filling up WES Arena with vibrant energy and movement.

 

Aside from free Zumba and fitness training, the participants also received various giveaways such as weighing scales, tumblers, tote bags, shirts, and towels to commemorate this special event; encouraging them to keep an active lifestyle in the long run.

On the other hand, the new season—Valenzuela Olympics 2025 has officially kicked off to showcase the talents of athletes in the field of sports once again. Retired PBA player and former MVP Asi Taulava, NLEX Road Warriors Power Forward Jake Pascual, along with Valenzuela homegrown athletes Angelica Faye Rosales, Xandres Ragusta, Gedrick Ranses, James Maliwat, Dale Ortega, and King Ahron Diama, led the symbolic lighting of the cauldron, officially rolling down the competition between the athletes from each barangay.

This year’s Valenzuela Olympics features some well-known sports categories from the previous year, along with the addition of new sports disciplines. Among the sports included are basketball, volleyball, billiards, table tennis, chess, darts, badminton, lawn tennis, obstacle sports, the newly included E-sports featuring Mobile Legends Bangbang (MLBB), among others. Representatives from various barangays will compete in these categories.

Surrounded by the enthusiastic young athletes from their respective barangays, this sporting event aims to determine which participating barangay will excel and claim the prestigious crown. In total, 33 barangays from the city have sent their best athletes, who will test their skills, face their rivals, and strive for ultimate victory.

Mayor WES Gatchalian, present in the opening ceremony, reminded everyone of the significant ideologies a Valenzuelano athlete should live by—Dream, Believe, Achieve. Conversely, in his message, he urged everyone to unceasingly hone their talents while utilizing the provided sports facilities of the local government. “Itinayo po ang WES Arena para sa ating mga atleta. Itinayo po ang pasilidad na ito para maging tahanan ng mga pangarap, tahanan ng mga atletang Valenzuelano. Ginagawa po natin taon taon itong Valenzuela Olympics para ipakita ang galing ng ating mga atleta sa bawat barangay,” he said. [The WES Arena was built for our athletes. This facility was built to be a home for dreams, a home for Valenzuelano athletes. We hold the Valenzuela Olympics every year to showcase the talent of our athletes in every barangay]

The local government continually develops initiatives like these that encourage all families in Valenzuela to commit to an active and healthy lifestyle. This is while the city continuously hones the talents of the youth in the field of sports.

Time to Shine!” Young Valenzuelano Creatives Take the Stage for Arts in the City 2025 Recital Day and “Susulat Ako” Storywriting Contest

Several young talents and artists blossomed during the annual free art workshop, the Arts in the City: Valenzuela Arts Workshop 2025; which ran from April 21 to June 1, 2025, all throughout the summer. An initiative of the City Government of Valenzuela through the Cultural Affairs and Tourism Development Office, the workshop consisted of various training sessions such as singing, dancing, acting, piano, ukulele, classical guitar, visual arts digital painting, wall art painting, and photography. 

These sessions were facilitated by professional and hands-on mentors who guided the young Valenzuelano trainees during the month-long workshop held at the Valenzuela City Academic Center for Excellence. For this year, a total of 1,070 Valenzuelano youths registered in the summer arts workshop while 27 mentors signed up to teach them the fundamentals of each art form.

The time has finally come for these trainees to showcase what they learned from the workshop at the culminating activity of AITC known as Recital Day, which will show different performances and visual art exhibits starting from May 29 to June 4. In the recital, various presentations from the departments of singing, acting, dancing, and instrument demonstrated each learner’s artistry and improved set of skills – not only practical skills but also personal skills such as confidence and determination. Meanwhile, the visual department also displayed their artistic masterpieces in their artwork exhibit

Running on its 18th year, the Arts in the City: Valenzuela Arts Workshop aims to enhance art appreciation among the youth, by providing opportunities for free training and unleashing their skills and potential prowess for any art form. Part of AITC’s goals is to ignite the passion of the young generation toward making art and encourage productivity.

On the other hand, the local government also featured the creativity of young Valenzuelano writers across the city through its Susulat Ako: 1st Valenzuela Storywriting Contest for the Youth which opened last February 3, 2025. This contest was open for participants from Grades 7 to 12 in public or private schools in Valenzuela City. A comprehensive writing workshop was also held before the contest proper.

Today, the contest yielded a grand winner who received a Php 20,000 cash prize, a laptop unit, and an additional Php 10,000 for his/her school; 2 honorable mentions who both received a Php 10,000 cash prize and an additional Php 5,000 for their respective schools. Further, there are 2 special awards which were granted as well namely the Mayor’s Choice Award and Best Effort Award.

Ms. Mikhaila D. Avendaño of Valenzuela National High School was crowned as the grand winner of the story writing contest, recognized for her remarkable piece “Ang Taling Hindi Maitali”. Meanwhile,  Ms. Einjhelle Mishz Delos Santos and Ms. Beatriz Allondra M. Magallanes, both hailed from Gen. T. de Leon National High School, were awarded Honorable Mentions.

A revolutionary project of Mayoress Tiffany Gatchalian and the City Government of Valenzuela through the Valenzuela City Library, the “Susulat Ako” aims to develop the writing skills of the children and reflect their creativity and authenticity through their work. 

With these two art programs that concluded, it is proven that the life of art – in all of its intricacies and forms — is well-thriving and continuously celebrated in the City of Valenzuela.

Valenzuela Unveils New Design for PWD and Senior Citizen ID Cards, Launches VAL ID Validation Portal

The new IDs feature a holographic seal - a tamper-resistant tool designed to prevent fraud and guarantee authenticity. Each ID is registered to a centralized data system dubbed Val ID or the Valenzuela ID Validation Portal, allowing the establishments to swiftly validate the identity of the cardholders.

Accessible online through https://valid.valenzuela.gov.ph/ via desktop or mobile devices, VAL ID aims to simplify the validation of Senior Citizen and PWD ID holders while complying with the Data Privacy Act.

Complementing this initiative is Ordinance 1231, Series of 2024, which authorizes the establishments, whenever presented for use, to confiscate fake, tampered, or falsified IDs. Confiscated IDs, on the other hand, must be delivered physically by the establishments to the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) within three (3) business days of confiscation and must submit the information listed in the ordinance. Moreover, administrative penalties and criminal liability may be imposed against any person who violates the ordinance.

Meanwhile, Senior citizen organizations and PWD advocacy groups have praised the local government's move, noting that it will help reduce fraudulent use of IDs and make everyday transactions more seamless for legitimate cardholders.

For more information, visit or contact The Office of the Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA) and the Persons with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) at 8352-1000, who shall oversee the distribution and management of the new IDs.

Gracing the launch were Vice Mayor Lorie Natividad-Borja, City Councilors, Senior Citizens, Persons with Disabilities Federation, merchant owners and representatives.

This milestone initiative underscores Valenzuela City’s commitment to protecting the rights and privileges of senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWDs), ensuring they receive the benefits due to them, while also safeguarding merchants and business establishments from individuals who attempt to falsify or tamper with IDs for personal gain.

Valenzuela City Grants Educational Support to Over 16,000 Graduating Student

A total of 16,619 graduating students—comprising 5,172 senior high school and 11,447 elementary pupils—have received PhP 1,500 in educational assistance. These incentives are granted under City Ordinance No. 551, Series of 2019, and City Ordinance No. 1110, Series of 2023.

City Ordinance No. 1110, Series of 2023, provides for the granting of financial assistance amounting to one thousand five hundred pesos (PhP 1,500) to every graduating senior high school (Grade 12) student in all public schools in Valenzuela City. In addition to the standard assistance, the ordinance grants further incentives to the top five honor students of each graduating batch. The top 1 honor student receives an additional PhP 1,500; the top 2 receives PhP 1,000; and the top 3, 4, and 5 each receive PhP 500.

In his short message during the distribution of educational grant, Mayor WES commends the students for their tenacity in achieving high-quality education. “Huwag niyo po akong pasasalamatan dito sa binibigay nating financial assistance. Hindi ko po pera ito, pero po ng taumbayan ito—at pera po ng Lungsod ng Valenzuela. Ako po ay natutuwa [at] nagagalak sa achievement na nagawa ninyo dito sa ValNat (Valenzuela National High School). I wish you all the best sa inyo pong pagpasok sa kolehiyo... Ano mang unibersidad ang inyong napili, tandaan niyo po, mga kasama, ang dugong Valenzuelano ay nasa loob niyo. Nasaan man kayo, taas-noo po ninyong dalhin at iwagayway ang bandera ng Valenzuela City,” he said. [I am not the one to thank for the financial assistance we are providing. This is not my money, but the people's money—and the resources of the City of Valenzuela. I am pleased and delighted with the achievement you have made here at ValNat (Valenzuela National High School). I wish you all the best as you enter college... Whatever university you choose, never forget that the core of being a Valenzuelano is within you. Wherever you are, hold your heads up high and take the pride of Valenzuela City with you].

Valenzuela City, recognized as a livable and forward-thinking city in Metro Manila, places a strong emphasis on providing quality education for all. Guided by its commitment to uplift the lives of every Valenzuelano, the city government continues to implement programs under its award-winning Education 360 Degrees Investment Program, aimed at reducing the number of out-of-school youth and addressing educational gaps. These efforts reflect Valenzuela’s vision of a city where every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed.

The distribution of financial assistance will run citywide until May 24, 2025, covering all the student beneficiaries of the program.

Powering Progress: Valenzuela City Rolls Out Largest EV Fleet for Police and Government Use

Building on the momentum of the initiative’s launch on December 10, 2024, Valenzuela is now the first city in the Philippines to deploy the largest number of electric vehicles for police operations. A total of thirty-five (35) EVs were allocated to the Valenzuela City Police Station (VCPS), while six (6) new EVs were designated for use by various government offices — a major milestone in the city’s ongoing transition to clean energy.
This pioneering move is made possible through a partnership with ACMobility and BYD Philippines, driving the adoption of sustainable transport solutions that benefit both the environment and public service delivery. By replacing traditional gasoline-powered police vehicles with energy-efficient EVs, the city government is set to save hundreds of millions of pesos in fuel and maintenance costs over the long term. Beyond the economic benefits, this shift significantly reduces the city’s carbon footprint — proving that fiscal responsibility and climate action can go hand in hand.
By aiming to be the first LGU in the Philippines with the largest fleet of EV police cars and the most extensive network of government and public charging stations — strategically located along NLEX, MacArthur Highway, and Mindanao Avenue — Valenzuela City positions itself as a torchbearer for sustainability and innovation in the country.
Allotting a budget of PHP 75,768,000.00 through the assistance of Senator Win Gatchalian’s Office, the first fleet of EVs were turned over to VCPS and other government offices in order to equip them with reliable and cost-efficient mobility units and ensure police operations and efficient delivery of public service. Each electric vehicle features a maximum power of 150kW (95 horsepower), a battery capacity of 44.9 kWh, and a range of 405 km. Proving its energy efficiency, electric vehicles can charge from 10 to 80% in around 30 minutes. This vehicle also has anti-theft equipment, regenerative braking, and an electronic stability program; certifying its efficiency for police use.

Alongside, the Valenzuela LGU also unveiled the Valenzuela EV Charging Station located at the ALERT Center. This marks the first among the 13 city-owned EV charging stations that will soon be established at the Valenzuela City Hall and nearby several 3S Centers across the city. 5 new ACMobility EV Charging Stations are also slated to open in Valenzuela City.

Mayor WES Gatchalian was joined by guests of honor Senator WIN Gatchalian, Secretary Juanito Victor Remulla of the Department of the Interior & Local Government and former Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto to witness the ceremonial turnover of the electric vehicles.

In his message, Mayor WES expounds on the benefits of adopting electric-powered vehicles in the economy and public health. “Electric vehicles offer a cleaner alternative. This will also complement our City Ordinance No. 525, Series of 2018, aptly titled the “Environment Code of Valenzuela City,” which serves as a guiding framework for our environmental efforts. By adopting EVs, we set an example for industries, proving that “progress and sustainability are not mutually exclusive” but, in fact, intertwined, while still providing the same quality service to our constituents.”

Also present during the ceremony were BYD Cars Philippines Managing Director Mr. Bob Palanca, Northern Police District Director PBGEN. Josefino Ligan, VCPS Chief of Police PCOL. Nixon Cayaban, and other city officials.
The newly unveiled EV Charging Station at the ALERT Center is the first of 17 city-owned charging hubs that will soon be installed across Valenzuela, including key locations such as City Hall and several 3S Centers. In addition, a new wave of ACMobility Charging Stations is set to open in the city — expanding EV infrastructure and making sustainable mobility more accessible for both government operations and the general public.
The “Go Green Valenzuela” program embodies the city’s dual mission: to strengthen public safety through modernized police mobility and to foster a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations of Pamilyang Valenzuelano. It’s not just a shift in transportation — it’s a forward-thinking investment in sustainability, savings, and service excellence.

Valenzuela City Strengthens Public Safety with New Police Vehicles, Launches ValPLEX for Faster License Plate Release

The city government allocated approximately PhP 49 million to acquire 40 new motorcycles and 25 brand-new police vehicles. These additions will bolster the Valenzuela City Police's mobility, enabling faster response times and reinforcing law enforcement presence throughout the city's streets and neighborhoods. This initiative is a critical step in strengthening the city's public safety framework and ensuring swift action against crime, thus making Valenzuela a more liveable city.

Alongside the vehicle turnover, Mayor WES Gatchalian introduced ValPLEX, a pioneering initiative designed to expedite the release of vehicle license plates. Implemented in coordination with the Office of Councilor Sel Sabino-Sy and in collaboration with the LTO, ValPLEX aims to eliminate long delays in the issuance of license plates for motorists. Initially, the initiative focused on government-owned vehicles and is now extending its services to the Tricycle Operators and Drivers' Association (TODA) in Valenzuela City. During the launch, 2,761 license plates were successfully distributed to TODA members, marking a milestone in the program’s rollout.

Mayor WES shared the city government's aspiration in turning the city safer and more secure through its Valenzuelife campaign. He hopes that every Valenzuela family will have peace of mind in living in the city and be given a life free from any danger. “Binibigyan po natin ng prayoridad ang peace and order [sa lungsod ng Valenzuela]. Sana po ay dumating panahon na kapag tinawag na Valenzuelife, ay panatag po ang loob ng ating mga anak na galing sa eskwela at mga asawa na galing sa trabaho na sila’y ligtas–na kapag sila’y naglalakad man sa looban ay hindi sila nangangamba dahil visible ang ating kapulisan,” He stated. [We prioritize peace and order in Valenzuela City. We hope that there will come a time, when we say Valenzuelife, our children coming from school and our spouses coming from work are ensured with security—that when they walk in the neighborhood, they will not be worried because the police forces visibility]

Further demonstrating the city’s commitment to social welfare, the local government also handed over seven (7) Chikiting Food Patrol vehicles to the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO). These vehicles, funded by incentives from the city's Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) award in 2023, will be deployed to various barangays to support the city’s K to 6 feeding programs and combat child malnutrition. By bringing nutritious food directly to young beneficiaries, Valenzuela continues to uphold its mission of promoting health and well-being for all its residents.

The event was graced by key government officials, including Senator Francis Tolentino, LTO Chief Atty. Vigor Mendoza II, LTO-Valenzuela’s Jhonny Dog-e, DILG Valenzuela Director Sudi Valencia, Vice Mayor Lorie Natividad-Borja, City Councilors, Valenzuela City Chief of Police PCOL Nixon Cayaban, CSWDO Chief on Social Welfare Operations Dorothy Evangelista, and Valenzuela City Transportation Office Head Jay Valenzuela. 

With these initiatives, Valenzuela City continues to set the bar for innovative and proactive governance, ensuring a safer, more efficient, well-serviced, and liveable community for all its residents.

Valenzuela LGU, DTI Educate Market Violators

Emphasizing the significance that all market transactions are fair and transparent, benefiting both the consumers and vendors, Committee Chairman on Market and Slaughterhouse, Councilor Ghogo Deato Lee spearheaded the discussion on the New Market Code Ordinance of Valenzuela City. He stressed that violating the ordinance has consequences for non-compliance. The ordinance imposes fines ranging from ₱5,000 to ₱15,000 on vendors or establishments found using tampered or non-compliant weighing devices.

 

Meanwhile, DTI Fair Trade Enforcement Bureau Mr. Joel Buag highlighted the policies and laws related to consumer protection and fair trade practices, specifically the Timbangan ng Bayan or the Republic Act 11706 authored by Mayor WES during his term as Congressman.

Sana po, bilang dito po ako nanunungkulan at nakatira (sa Valenzuela) sana dito natin maging example na maganda sa Valenzuela.“

 

Some 74 non-compliant weighing scales were confiscated last March 17-18 from various markets in the City during Operation Timbangan conducted by the City Treasurer’s Office, LEDIPO, Consumer Welfare Unit. The owners may retrieve these weighing scales upon payment of the administrative penalty, recalibration of the weighing scales, and secure the seal.

 

Furthermore, Mayor WES also conducted a surprise inspection at the Marulas Public Market and checked if the rice retailers were adhering to the Department of Agriculture's Administrative Circular No. 05, Series of 2025, which sets the Maximum Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for imported rice (5% broken) at ₱49.00 per kilo.

 

In support of the national directives, the City Government of Valenzuela will start selling NFA rice at a maximum of 10 kilograms per consumer starting next week. According to Mayor WES, about 1000 kilograms to 3000 kilograms will be sold at the selected 3S Centers in Valenzuela City.

 

Also present during the dialogue were the Department of Trade and Industry Consumer Protection and Advocacy Bureau, Ms. Carlina Josue, LEDIPO Officer-in-Charge Ms. Janina Bautista, City Treasurer Ms. Adelia Soriano, and Marulas Punong Barangay Cocoy Espino.

 

Raising awareness of fair trade practices reinforces the City's commitment to protecting both the consumers and market owners – encouraging them to comply with the law to avoid penalties in the future.

Valenzuela City Launches “Valenzuelife” Initiative

The City Government of Valenzuela launched “This is the life, Valenzuelife,” a liveability initiative that demarcates future projects the current administration has in store for Valenzuela City. The Valenzuelife launch took off with a grand celebration accompanied by live performances by special guests such as Maki, Alyssa Muhlach, and Meiji Cruz at the Valenzuela City People’s Park Amphitheater.

“This is the life, Valenzuelife!” underscores the beauty of living in Valenzuela — from its quality and inclusive education, the ease of doing business, housing projects, social welfare initiatives, peace and order advantage, to recreational parks and open spaces, to name a few. These projects are focused on infrastructure and programs that enrich the quality of life of Valenzuelano.

During the launching, Mayor WES Gatchalian officially introduced “This is the life, Valenzuelife!” through a video encapsulating all the projects that Valenzuelanos can look forward to in his administration. These include the new Finance and Legislative Center, the three new Valenzuela Academic Center for Excellence, the Children’s Park, the Jardin de Memoria, and the soon to open Valenzuela Health Medical Center, among others.

Aside from laying the groundwork for these projects underway, the launch of Valenzuelife also sets the tone and inspiration for the type of governance that will be evident over the course — which is to boost local tourism, improve the living conditions of the city, accelerate programs, and provide more reasons to stay in Valenzuela City.

Valenzuela City has come so far — from once a quaint provincial town during colonial times, the City is now regarded as one of the country’s highly urbanized and globally competitive cities; a growth that is very apparent because of the leadership of the local chief executive who took a progressive direction for the City.

Valenzuela Dengue Cases Sustained Downward Trend

The sustained downward trend is attributed to the collective efforts of the city and other stakeholders with a strong emphasis on the practice of the 4S strategies. Particularly, the Search and Destroy activities of potential breeding sites of the mosquito vector in all barangays, and intensified in the 10 barangays where most cases were noted.

With this, the City Government of Valenzuela through its City Health Office (CHO), hopes to further the decrease of cases as the CHO continuously monitors and evaluates the strategies implemented which aim to be designed to the community’s needs and dynamics for it to become effective and efficient.
