Preparation of Project Proposals and Recovery Plans (Productivity enhancement cum livelihood project assistance for approval and PGLUSAPSAP Recover Plan) Barangay Unit of Samara- there were general programs developed to assist the fisherfolks but it is to give priority to women fisherfolks. DSWD- the pandemic especially the local declarations limiting economic activities had an adverse effect in the operationalization of the enterprises of the SLP program beneficiaries especially to women fisher folks who depends their everyday living in said enterprises. Definite example of this was the SLP women participants in the Municipality of Magsingal, Ilocos Sur where the operationalization of their business was interrupted not only on the availability of supplies and raw materials in the Province but also their mobility since their Barangay was subjected to granular lockeddown due to emerging cases positive to the Covid-19. During the pandemic, the DSWD issued Memorandum Circular No. 09, series of 2020 or the Omnibus Guidelines in the Implementation of Emergency Subsidy Program of DSWD allocating resources to curtail the impact of recent declarations in the economic, physical and psychosocial well-being of the affected families which includes the fisher folks. Included in this circular the immediate response to food sustenance and livelihood recovery through the provision of Livelihood Assistance Grant (LAG). This was specified through the Memorandum Circular No. 19, series of 2020 or the Special Guidelines on the Provision of LAG. Due to budget constraints brought by the lapsed of the Bayanihan To Heal as One Act, the Department identified five (5) pilot municipalities for the LAG and only the Municipalities of San Juan in Ilocos Sur and Caba in La Union belonged to coastal municipalities that will include women fisher folks; however, since the budget downloaded can only cater 115 beneficiaries, the proposed livelihood recovery projects of eligible beneficiaries from the Municipality of Sta. Barbara, Pangasinan, which is not a coastal area, were funded. However, the Department is still waiting for the final advisory regarding the provision of LAG as stated in the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act which will be implemented in all cities and municipalities of Region 1 and will possibly cater the coastal communities and women fisherfolks. BFAR- the Bureau launched the KADIWA activities KADIWA ni Ani at Kita, Seafood KADIWA and KADIWA on Wheels. The fisherfolk associations are assisted/link to the consumer of their produce. Wherein fishery commodities are delivered to consumers through the LGUs, using the refrigerated van and other vehicle of the bureau to cater needs of the farmers and fisherfolk.
