A bangus farming project sponsored by Hinatuan Mining Corp. (HMC), a subsidiary of Nickel Asia Corp. (NAC), in Sitio Bagong Silang, Tagana-an, Surigao del Norte, yielded more than 1,700 kilos of bangus in its first harvest ever, which happened during quarantine. “This is a big achievement for us small fisherfolk, because the lockdown has limited our movements in the community and the bangus helped many of us during this quarantine,” said Lilibeth Becera, President of the United Fisherfolk Association of Bagong Silang (UFAOBS) in Tagana-an.
