The Marcos administration intends to intensify the Kadiwa ng Bagong Bayaning Mangingisda (KBBM) Program to provide better opportunities for Filipino fishermen in the West Philippine Sea (WPS), the Philippine Coast Guard (PGC) said on Saturday. In a weekly news forum in Quezon City, PCG Spokesperson for the WPS, Commodore Jay Tarriela, said the government would make sure that the conditions and livelihood of fishermen would improve. The government on Wednesday launched the KBBM Program in Palawan province after its successful pilot run at the Panatag Shoal off Zambales province on May 9.
