Iloilo City – Ilonggo fisherfolk are choosing ease off the use of motorboats when fishing due to the increase in oil prices brought by the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law. The 44-year-old fisherman Armando Alolor told Panay News that he plans to buy a non-engine-operated boat rather than a motorboat to lessen his expenses, as the buying gasoline to operate a motorboat would prove too expensive.
