  • 6 fishers cleared of dynamite fishing
    Visperas, Eva (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2018-04-09)
    Six fishermen accused of dynamite fishing have been acquitted by a Dagupan court for lack of evidence. In an eight-page decision issued recently, Robert Pedeglorio, Jonathan Vidal, Eddie Ablog, Salvador Imbat, Jonathan Gonzales and Jimmy Rentar Jr. were declared not guilty by Presiding Judge Emma Torio of the Regional Trial Court Branch 41. Torio said the prosecution failed to present evidence against the accused, who were charged of engaging in dynamite fishing. Records showed the six were spotted on board a boat by personnel of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in the Lingayen Gulf on July 16, 2012.
  • Alaminos fisherfolks rely on payao for bounty catch

    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).
