More than a month after the livelihood of residents here was disrupted due to the Philippine-United States “Balikatan” (shoulder-to-shoulder) military exercises, some fisherfolk and fish vendors finally received food aid from the government on Wednesday. Fish vendor Genoviva Navilla, 85, said the assistance would have been a big help since there were no fish to sell. However, she was among those excluded from the list of beneficiaries.
