    Amid WPS tension, Zambales fishers receive 'Payao' donation
    Aglibot, Joanna Rose (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2024-10-02)
    Some fishermen here were dismayed after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., during his third State of the Nation Address (Sona), failed to mention his plans for fishermen whose lives were affected by the presence of the Chinese Coast Guard in the West Philippine Sea (WPS). In a telephone interview on Monday, Leonardo Cuaresma, president of the New Masinloc Fishermen Association, acknowledged the President’s efforts to pay tribute to Filipino fishermen and soldiers guarding the WPS.

    The lure of mindoro fishermen's ancient way
    Evora, Robert (Philippine Manila Standard Publishing, Inc., 2014-03-24)
    Marginal fishermen in Mindoro Strait are on a roll in the the world’s yellow fin market, attracting buyers with their ancient practice of slapping the sea with their lines and beating expensive commercial operations using modern equipment such as sonars, sensors and nets. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) said the handline fisherman, who roam the Strait on outrigger boats, catch 70-kilo yellow fin tuna using “kawil” (hook, line and sinker), attracting pelagic fish such as tuna, marlin and mahi-mahi (dolphin fish) in their “payaw” or fish aggregating device. “Tuna buyers from European and Middle East countries as well as Japan and the United States are coming to Mamburao in droves. Mamburao is now the de facto tuna capital of the Philippines,” said Joselito Tiongson, site manager of the WWF.

    Still no fishing in high seas pocket
    Gillermo, J. D. (BusinessWorld Publishing Corporation, 2013-08-15)
    Due to the closure on fish aggregating devices (FADs), there are still no Philippine fishing vessels in a tuna-rich pocket of the Pacific Ocean, an Agriculture official said yesterday. “There are still no fishing vessels in the High Seas Pocket Number 1 (HSP1) as those vessels that use FADs or payao are still banned. All of our 36 vessels are using payao,” Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Assistant Director for Administrative Services Benjamin F. S. Tabios, Jr. said in a phone interview.

    Alaminos fisherfolks rely on payao for bounty catch
    Visperas, Eva (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2018-09-23)
    Fishermen in this city can now look forward to having a bountiful fish catch to sustain their livelihood with the installation of deep sea-fish aggregating devices. The fish aggregating device called payao serves as a marker of a safe fishing zone. An additional 35 units of payao were installed in the province. These were on top of the 15 other units previously given by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR).
