3. ACCESS TO INFORMATION, RESOURCES, AND FOOD PRODUCTION. Respondent R: Our households were able to receive “AYUDA,” from the government. CHR: Did you hear about this SURE COVID AID? Respondent S: Yes, Ma‟am. The fisherfolks can loan from the Department of Agriculture worth twenty five thousand pesos (25k ). Only the “MANANAGAT” is allowed to ask for a loan payable within ten years. Respondent T: They were the first person to know the said loan application. Personally, we were not able to know the loan agreement. There were no projects being implemented and no projects being introduced to the local government. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE: If there is a loan agreement, such loan agreement should not pass through on the hands of individual fisherfolks. The processing of this loan agreement must went through an organization. As of today, we do not want to confirm the said loan. We need to know first the guidelines of the loan agreement. 12
