The Philippine Fisheries Development Authority recently ended its engineering surveys for the plans to construct a fish port in Bacolod City, a press release from the Office of Bacolod Rep. Anthony Rolando Golez Jr. said.

Golez has requested PFDA General Manager Edgardo Chu to prioritize the construction of a fish port facility in Bacolod City, particularly in Brgy. Banago, the press release said.

He noted that the project that will be done by the PFDA will complement the recent developments made by the Philippine Ports Authority in Banago Port, it added.

The survey team, composed of Darby Macabata, Dante Tandoy, Allan Abes, Germilina Garcia and Patricia Raymundo finished their survey in barangays Tangub, Punta Taytay and Banago in Bacolod City on July 29, the press release said.

Macabata said in the press release that they found the fish port in Sibucao, Brgy. Banago the most feasible for a project. He also said that based on their survey, they will come up with a rehabilitation and expansion plan of the fish port in Sibucao.

Macabata said that based on their study, the fish port in Sibucao was constructed under the initiative of former Bacolod Rep. John Orola and is under the administration of Brgy. Banago officials.

Golez recently requested the PFDA to prioritize a fish port project in Bacolod City and office conducted the necessary survey, the press release also said.*
