The Municipality of Bantayan in Cebu has reaped a total of P35.7 million worth of agri-fishery projects that will leapfrog the town’s food security program to boost the Province of Cebu’s tourism campaign for the island. Of the 35.7 million, P4.7 million worth of projects were turned over by the Department of Agriculture on Thursday, April 15, 2021, and broke ground the P30 million multi-species hatchery. The multi-species hatchery will produce fry for bangus, pompano, danggit, ketong and blue swimming crab. The project was initiated by former fourth district congressman Benhur Salimbangon in 2016.
