BANCAS FOR LOCAL FISHERMEN

BANCAS FOR LOCAL FISHERMEN – At least 30 marginal fishermen from Carael, 30 from Salapingao and 25 from Calmay receive bancas with a paddle each from the city given out under the livelihood program of Mayor Belen T. Fernandez (center) to be used by them for their alternative source of livelihood as part of the city government's unrelenting campaign against illegal fishpens. The recipients were told to help clean the rivers from trash when they go out and catch fish along the rivers. Also in photo are City Agriculture Officer Emma J.
