A total of 138 members from various fisherfolk associations in Palawan are benefitting from the fish aggregating device project distributed in the last quarter of the previous year, the provincial government reported. Palawan government spokesperson Atty. Christian Jay Cojamco said Saturday that the fish entrapment contraptions were provided through the Livelihood Project Management Unit under the administration of Governor Dennis Socrates. “The Palawan provincial government has successfully distributed payao devices to this number of fishermen in small-scale fishing communities in the province to help them improve their livelihood,” he said.
