The Iloilo provincial government will teach Iloilo farmers in breeding the native catfish or pantat, blending the technology promoted by the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) and "appropriate technology." "Instead of injecting the female pantat with imported hormones, we will apply the appropriate technology of recycling the head of the fish," explained Larry Locara, chief of the research and evaluation division, provincial planning office and also the acting head of the Iloilo Technology and Livelihood Development Center.
