    200 Antique fisherfolk to get materials to repair boats
    (Panay News, Inc., 2022-11-11)
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in Region 6 will provide repair materials worth P10,000 each to 200 fisherfolk whose boats were badly damaged during the onslaught of Severe Tropical Storm “Paeng” in the last week of October. BFAR Antique head Richard Cordero, in an interview Friday, said they were finalizing the damage report for the BFAR central office to provide repair materials so the fishermen can resume their livelihood. “Based on our initial report, there are 600 fisherfolk whose fishing boats were damaged, but we are prioritizing only 200 of them who really need the repair materials,” he said.

    BFAR urged to lead fight vs HB 7853
    Gomez, Eireene Jairee (The Manila Times Publishing Corporation, 2021-04-30)
    Environmental group Oceana, along with more than 1,100 fisherfolk groups across the country, urged Department of Agriculture (DA) and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) to lead the opposition to House Bill 7853 that will allow commercial fishing operations in the country’s municipal waters. “We need to uphold the law and complete the implementation of reforms under the amended Fisheries Code,” the groups said in a joint statement that was sent to the author of the bill, Cebu Third District Rep. Pablo John Garcia, and members of the House of Representatives Committee on Aquaculture and Fisheries. “Instead of supporting the artisanal fisherfolk improve their capacity and efficiency in their fishing efforts that will improve their livelihood and rise above from hunger and malnutrition, they will open up the municipal water to commercial fishing operations. All the efforts to increase production in fisheries while improving the life and livelihood of municipal fisherfolk will lead to nothing,” they further said.

    Pushing sustainable fishing, one plate at a time
    Olchondra, Riza T. (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2016-03-16)
    Top hotels and restaurants in Manila, environmental groups and non-profit pro-fisheries organizations are bringing the sustainable fishing advocacy closer to diners. Recognizing the power of product buyers and diners, non-profit organization Rare Philippines and Swiss-led seafood trading company Meliomar Inc. have joined forces to promote sustainably fished marine products from a community of small-scale fishers in Antique province among top-rated hotels and restaurants in Metro Manila. The idea is to get as many high-end establishments to buy fish, crustaceans and other marine products from communities where the fisherfolk use non-invasive fishing gear, catch non-endangered, adult-sized marine species, fish in the right areas (avoiding protected areas and marine sanctuaries) and follow proper handling/storage under traceability standards.
