The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) has agreed to look into the possibility of giving fuel subsidy to fishermen to allow them to expand their fishing activities in the West Philippine Sea. In an interview on "Dobol B TV" Armed Forces of the Philippines Western Command (WESCOM) chairman Vice Admiral Ramil Enriquez said Sunday that some fishermen are forced to limit their fishing activities due to short funds for fuel supply. "Ang ibang fishermen kahit maraming isda medyo alanganin sila dahil gagastos sila ng krudo medyo malayo-layo yung lugar so lugi sa profit. Liliit ang kita nila," he said.
