banana cue and the like, barbecue and isaw stands tided them over during those early months of the pandemic. II. ON ECONOMIC PARTICIPATION AND RECOGNITION ● What are the fisherfolks organizations in the community? Are there women representations? Claveria has fisherfolks’ cooperatives or organizations. Claveria Fisherfolks Cooperative (CFC), Taggat Norte Fisher folks Organization (TNFO), Claveria Fish Landing Cooperative (CFLC), Rural Improvement Clubs (RIC), and the Municipal Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Council (MFARMC) are just few of these. Though usually headed by a registered male fisherfolk, it is noteworthy that these organizations and cooperatives are managed by women fisherfolks, too. It must be pointed out here that women fisherfolks have a say during dialogs and decision-making and are active in fisheries law enforcement though it is seldom that they join the Philippine Coast Guard when they patrol the seas. Respondent K: I am On Call bantay-dagat but not keen on patrolling the waters as trabaho lang iti lallaki nga nataraki. (It’s a man’s job.) The landscape of women fisherfolks in Claveria, it was observed from the remote mapping, is diverse. On one hand, there is the low income group of women fisherfolks. They are residents of Pata East and West Culao, Dibalio and D. Leaňo. These women are fish vendors selling their husbands catch or “aglaladig”(gathering clams, tahong or oysters in the rivers). They ply the side streets on their padyak (bike with sidecar) or kitong-kitong (motorcycle with a sidecar). They are 4Ps beneficiaries and recipients of SAP during the Enhanced Community Quarantine. On the other hand, are fish traders and fish brokers (comprador) employed by commercial fish traders whose business dealings reach the nearby province of Ilocos Norte. A number also owns fishing boats. A few are small time compradors who handle the small scale marketing. There are also fish cage owners. On both landscape however, micro-lending such as ASKI and CARD or borrowing from loan-sharks (5-6) are their recourses to have capital for fish brokerage and fish buying. 6 | Page
