Emergency assistance given to fishermen

As part of the rehabilitation program of the city government to help fishermen increase their income after Typhoon Juan, the city government distributed emergency assistance of tilapia fingerlings and prawn fries to fishermen affected by Typhoon Juan. Mayor Eva led the distribution on November 19 at Barangay Mindoro where 196 fishermen from barangays Bulala, San Pedro, Ayusan Norte, Pantay Fatima and Pantay Daya received 217,350 tilapia fingerlings while 167,500 prawn fries were also given to 67 fishermen of Mindoro and Pantay Laud. The allocation of tilapia fingerlings and prawn fries depended on their stocks before “Typhoon Juan” and the size and depth of their ponds or fish cages.jsa
