The financial support of the Government of Japan to SEAFDEC /AQD (Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center/ Aquaculture Department) for the last 45 years is very rewarding and gratifying. This was the gist of the message of AQD Chief Dan Baliao during the last Technical Support Meeting held at the National Institute of Aquaculture in Mie, Japan last Sept. 11-14. The efforts of Japan’s support can be measured by the projects, infrastructures, equipment, trainings, fellowship, travel, employment and expertise.

Baliao lauds Japan's 50 years of support for SEAFDEC/AQD. (2018, October 22). Panay News, p. B3.
