By Mark Angelo N. Perez
SURIGAO CITY, Surigao del Norte, Jun. 8 -- The Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA), together with all its Regional Fish Ports (RFP), took part in the double celebration of the Farmers and Fisherfolk Month with the theme "May Pandemya Man o Wala, Magsasaka't Mangingisda, Maasahan ng Bansa” and the 21st National Fisherfolk Day on May 31, 2021.
This year,
despite the constant looming dangers brought by the COVID-19 pandemic and
extreme weather conditions, the fisherfolks continue to ensure that there will
be enough food for everyone. They remain as the capeless heroes fighting
against hunger and towards food security.
To
celebrate these momentous occasions, the PFDA, through its Public Information
Division, developed and produced a tribute video entitled "Paglaot:
Pagpupugay sa mga Mangingisdang Pilipino."
The video
aims to honor and extend gratitude to the valiant fisherfolk for their hard
work, commitment, and dedication to help the Philippine economy, especially
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Through
this video, the agency will take you on a journey about the bittersweet life of
a fisherfolk. Every common misconception and the true essence of being a
fisherfolk were showcased in the video to enlighten everyone about the real
situation of those who give every Filipino food on their plates.
