The agriculture and fisheries sector proved to be the most important during these trying times. These sectors provided and keep providing us our primary need – food. “Ang pagtilaw sang pandemya nagpakita sa aton nga tuman ka importante ang sektor sang agrikultura kag palangisdaan. Kag sa aton pagbuligay, sa pag-amlig kag pagtatap sang aton kadagatan, nasigurado naton nga may isda sa kada lamesa diri sa aton rehiyon,” BFAR-6 Regional Director Remia Aparri said. Building on from last year’s successful awareness campaigns, Visayan Sea Closed Season: Ang Pahuway sang Baybay and Bantay Visayan Sea, the bureau reiterates that every person can and must take part in looking after the sea while it takes its much needed rest through the closed season.
