BFAR sends more help to Yolanda-hit fishermen

The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) will again send the vessel MV DA-BFAR to Tacloban City to deliver thousands of fishing implements to Typhoon Yolanda-affected fishermen in Eastern Visayas.

In a simple send-off ceremony at the Navotas Fish Port Complex, Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala said that the undertaking is part of the government’s effort, through BFAR’s AHON! Rehabilitation Initiative, to hasten the recovery of the region’s fishing communities.
