Campos, Othel
The first Climate Risk Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA) in the Ilocos Region showed that tilapia in Badoc, Ilocos Norte, remains resilient to climate change, despite exposure to typhoons, flooding, drought and rising sea temperatures. In contrast, Cabugao, Ilocos Sur, has experienced a significant decline in skipjack tuna catch and size over the past decade. However, moderate dependence on the species and stable adaptive capacity prevent the municipality from being highly vulnerable.
