It’s the city’s tourism campaign tagline that translates to “That’s Naga!”
It’s the expression that comes when we touch on the characteristics and qualities that make Naga stand out on its own. Some examples are shown below.
The ‘Naga ‘yon’ tagline is a product of extensive consultations and collaborative effort among stakeholders and sectors in Naga City. Learn how the tagline was developed and what it means.
For locals, the expression evokes ‘nagayon‘, which can be understood in several ways. It can mean ‘nag-gayon‘ (has improved or become more pleasing to look at); or as a shortened version of ‘minagayon‘ as in, “Minagayon an sakong pagmati pag yaon ako sa Naga” (I feel better when I am am in Naga.)
In any case, the tagline captures that sense of pride and ownership of what Naga City stands for even as it recognizes what it is and what it is not.
