    Excerpt
    Rain suddenly poured at the break of dawn as 20 students and two instructors boarded the four-layered bamboo raft in Barangay Malabor, Tibiao, Antique province. They were about to experience “lambaklad” fishing in the Malabor Coast, a rich fishing ground and believed to be a highway of migratory fish, on the raft with the 21 “buso” (crew) led by one “maestro” (master-fisherman). Lambaklad is derived from the Kinaray-a words, “lambat” which means net and “baklad,” meaning corral. It is one of the biggest fish traps in the country.
