Coastal brgys should organize
fishermen associations: Ablong
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

Dumaguete City Administrator and concurrent Agriculturist William Ablong yesterday said a coastal barangay should organize its fishermen so that marine wardens, or bantay dagat personnel, can be deputized.

The city is asking the concurrence of the Sangguniang Panlungsod on the deputation of 25 wardens in several coastal barangays of Dumaguete. Ablong said deputized personnel are used in seaborne and patrol operations and will receive an honorarium of P1,000 per month from the city.

He said Republic Act 8550, or the Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998, states that local government units have the primary responsibilities and control in managing city or town waters.
