00:00The government of Ilocos Norte is ready to help the fishermen in Lawag City.
00:06Jude Pitt-Pitan has a national news report from Radyo Pilipinas, Lawag.
00:13This is the 62-footer fishing boat given by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
00:19to the fishermen in Barangay La Paz, Lawag City.
00:21It is possible to add 40 metric tons to their catch
00:26Because of this donation by BIFAR, they only ask for additional help and equipment
00:31to fully benefit the fishing boat.
00:34It's good because this is a big help to us,
00:39especially if they will give the equipment
00:43because the equipment is still not enough.
00:48The government of Ilocos Norte has assured that there is a ready fund
00:53for those fishermen who want to use it.
00:55They just need to write to a farm organization
01:00or call the hotlines of the Agricadito Program of the LGU.
01:04This year, we are already looking for a fund
01:08for the purchase of fishing paraphernalia to include the fish.
01:14So, what they will do is to request.
01:18The LGU of Lawag City was the first to give small fishing boats and fingerlings.
