financially is…the Commission on Audit will not allow to allocate capital for fish vendor. A
matter of thirty thousand (30k), this was disallowed by COA. On our part, here in Department of
Agriculture, we gave them materials to be used for fishing. Our “Mananagat na Lalaki,” they
were able to receive help from our agency. We were able to distribute materials for fishing, but
not in terms of monetary. As for “Females Manangat,” sad to say, they were not able to receive
any help from our agency.
Respondent P: We overheard this from other fisherfolks. The other barangay like Barangay
Tangke, they received an amount of five thousand pesos (5,000.00). How come in our own
barangay no amount of money were distributed?
Respondent O: No financial help receive other than fishing materials.
Respondent Q: Ma‟am, we heard this news from our friends. Some of them received a livelihood
project, especially in Barangay San Roque. (Loud Voice, Outbursts of Anger)
