    Aquino grants fishing boats to fishermen
    Galvez, James Konstantin (The Manila Times Publishing Corporation, 2014-02-26)
    President Benigno Aquino 3rd led the awarding of newly built fishing boats to fisherfolk in coastal communities affected by the onslaught of Super Typhoon Yolanda. During the 28th anniversary of EDSA People Power in Visayas, the President awarded new and repaired units of fishing boats and other forms of assistance to typhoon-hit fisherfolk in the said coastal community. Accompanied by Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala, former senator and now Typhoon Yolanda rehab czar Panfilo Lacson and Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa, President Aquino visited the municipality of Bantayan in Bantayan Island, Northern Cebu to check on the progress of the rehabilitation efforts in the area.

    Addressing climate change thru our young
    Borgueta, Sandra Joyce (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2016-03-30)
    The drought has caused a heavy loss in the agricultural sector. The DA reported that a total of 134,321 metric tons of crops have been damaged as of March 7, 2016, by the dry spell. This affects an estimated 12 million people, making up 33 percent of the country’s labor force, with almost 70 percent of the rural community working as farmers and fishermen. With that, this year’s World Water Day (March 22), whose theme was “Water and Jobs,” offered an opportune time to call attention to the plight of farmers and fisherfolk who are at risk and severely affected by the long droughts and destructive typhoons.
