From its establishment as a town of Manila province in 1859 to 1898, Navotas was led by sixteen (16) governadorcillos. Beginning in 1901, the year when Navotas became part of the newly established province of Rizal, the town was governed by the municipal president, the title first held by Canuto Celestino. From 1903 to 1906, Navotas was placed under the governance of Malabon, which is also led by a municipal president. [1] [2] Benjamín Alonzo was later elected as the then-municipality's first titleholder of mayor in 1934.

During the period of the Philippine Commonwealth from 1935 to 1945, the 1935 constitution ushered. This allowed Navotas to have three (3) leaders. This trend from 1946 to 1972 (during the Second Philippine Republic) was toward decentralization. Congress passed laws giving more autonomy to Local Government Units through the grant of additional powers and lessening of national control affairs. This created four (4) Mayors of Navotas.

During the Martial Law Period, President Ferdinand Marcos had changed the structure and functions of LGU’s, thus decentralization suffered the set back with the concentration of power on his hands. After December 31, 1975 (expiration of tenure of office of the local elective officials), the President assumed the power of appointment of the officials as authorized by the people in a referendum held on February 27, 1975. During the Marcos Regime, Navotas had two (2) Mayors.

Vice Mayor of Navotas

The Vice Mayor is the second-highest official of the city. The vice mayor is elected via popular vote; although most mayoral candidates have running mates, the vice mayor is elected separately from the mayor. This can result in the mayor and the vice mayor coming from different political parties.

The Vice Mayor is the presiding officer of the Navotas City Council, although he can only vote as the tiebreaker. When a mayor is removed from office, the vice mayor becomes the mayor until the scheduled next election. The incumbent is Tito Sanchez.
