Claver fisherfolk
beneficiaries receive 15 motorized FRP boats
SURIGAO
CITY, Surigao del Norte, Feb. 1 -- It was a great way to start the year when
about 15 fisherfolk beneficiaries from the municipality of Claver in Surigao
del Norte formally received on January 10, 2020, a total of 15
fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) boats from the Bureau of Fisheries and
Aquatic Resources (BFAR) - Caraga.
The
distribution was headed by BFAR-Caraga Regional Director Visa Tan-Dimerin
together with Mayor Georgia Gokiangkee of Claver.
The
turnover ceremony was also attended by the members of the Sangguniang Bayan,
Barangay Urbiztondo local officials, and BFAR-Caraga F/B Pagbabago focal person
Restituto Bautista.
Aside
from the 22-footer FRP boats, the recipients also received 7.5 horsepower
diesel marine engines each.
In her
message, Gokiangkee expressed how they direly needed these programs for the
fisherfolk's livelihood.
"To
the beneficiaries, unta magmalampuson kamo sa inyo panginabuhi. Awhaga ang
inyong kaubang mangingisda nga gamiton ang baroto sa legal nga pamaagi lamang
(To the beneficiaries, I hope that you will be more successful in your
livelihood. Encouraged your fellows to use the boats properly and legally as
intended for their purpose)," said Gokiangkee.
On the
other hand, Dimerin challenged the beneficiaries not to sell their boats and
accessories because the 'Banka Ko, Gawa Ko' program is implemented for
livelihood and to increase the food production or harvest, and to increase the
income, as emphasized also by Department of Agriculture Secretary William Dar
in his concept on the ‘new thinking’ for agriculture.
Dimerin
also assured the participants that BFAR-Caraga will continue to support the
municipality of Claver through various training and provide the beneficiaries
with fishing nets for better catch and income.
Bautista,
the F/B Pagbabago focal person, conducted a six-day hands-on training on the
construction of FRP boats in Claver from November 26 to December 1, 2019.
BFAR
provided the materials and trainers while the local government unit of Claver
provided the working area, water, and electricity. The fisherfolk beneficiaries
built the boats and are expected to maintain them. (BFAR-Caraga/VLG/PIA-Surigao
