In Capiz, 1,072 fisherfolks with motorboats are expected to receive fuel subsidy in the form of discount cards from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR). Each fisherfolk will receive P3,000 worth of fuel subsidy they can use to purchase engine fuel for their fishing operations. BFAR Capiz Field Office public information officer Lorelyn Ofalla said the fuel discount for farmers and fisherfolks aims to cushion the impact of rising oil prices on the local fishing industry.
