00:00The government will continue to provide assistance to fishermen in Ilocos Norte due to the low catch rate of the fish.
00:08The details are reported by Rani Dorilag of Radyo Pilipinas, Lawag.
00:14Aside from the strong waves in the sea, some fishermen in Lawag City are also worried about the dead commercial fishing vessels in municipal waters.
00:23It is possible that this will affect their catch even if they are allowed to fish here.
00:29That is why they are hoping that the Supreme Court will approve the motion for reconsideration
00:34by the Department of Agriculture to not allow commercial fishing vessels to be caught.
00:40It would be better if we were allowed to leave, sir.
00:42Because we are already affected.
00:45How many fish can we catch for our family?
00:49It's really not enough.
00:50If there is no help from the government, from those who are giving us help,
00:56we really have nothing, sir.
00:58The fishermen are asking the government to add more help such as the fingerlings of the fish
01:04so that they can grow in the Padsan River while they cannot swim.
01:09The provincial government of Ilocos Norte agreed to add more help for them.
01:14This year, we will increase the fund for our assistance to our fishermen and fisherfolk associations.
01:25Based on our requests, they have a lot of requests such as fishing nets, motorized fishing boats, and fish cages.
01:37With the addition of the provincial government of Ilocos Norte,
01:39they will continue their efforts to meet the needs of fishermen in the province.
