Ecofish project to launch in Surigao Norte

By Arturo M. Cruje

SURIGAO DEL NORTE, Jan. 17 (PIA) -- The Ecosystems Improved for Sustainable Fisheries (Ecofish) Project of the Philippine Government and the United States Government will be launched in the province this year, said Gov. Sol Matugas recently.

The lady governor said the project seeks to address the complex problems of ecosystem degradation, fish stock depletion and poverty in the fishing communities.

Based on records, fish production in the province is declining due to excessive fishing, destruction of coral reefs and breeding grounds, and variations or changes in ocean conditions. This caused coastal communities to become marginalized and poor because of their dependence on catch from seas.

Ecofish Project aims to conserve biodiversity, enhance ecosystem productivity and restore the profitability of fisheries, which are also the concerns of the provincial government under the present administration. (SDR/PPDO/PIA-Surigao del Norte)


Cebuano News: Pangulong Aquino gusto niya masuta ang importansya sa PCGG sa dili pa kini wagtangon

Ni Susil D. Ragas

SURIGAO CITY, Enero 17 (PIA) -- Ang Pangulong Aquino namahayag nga gusto niya sutaon ang mga opinsyon nga nagsugyot alang sa pagwagtang ug pagpabilin sa Presidential Commission on Good Governance (PCGG) ug iyang gitumbok nga kinahanglang mahuman una sa PCGG ang mga mandato niini adesir pa kini wagtangon.

Matud sa Pangulo nga gusto niya matan-aw ug maripaso gyud og maayo ang PCGG labi na sa ilang dugay ug taas nga pagproseso sa pagbawi sa ill-gotten wealth sa mga Marcos.

Sumala pa niya nga ang mga kawani sa PCCG nga gitudlo sa kanhi administrasyon dili kwalipikado, tungod kay hangtod karon wala pa gihapon mabawi ang mga dagkong kabtangan sama sa mga paintings didto sa New York ug lain pang mga kabtangan.

Dugang pa niya nga gusto usab niya masuta kon nahimo ba sa PCGG ang trabaho niini ug posible ba nga ang Department of Justice na lamang ang modala niini sumala sa rekomendasyon ni PCGG chair Andres Bautista nga ihatag na lamang ngadto sa korte, piskalya o sa opisina sa Ombudsman ang trabaho sa PCGG.
