For his part, BFAR-Northern Mindanao Director Edward Yasay said the partnership will boost support for local fishers in the area.

“Ang tilapia culture sa Lala ay hindi lamang nagbibigay ng tamang pagkain at nutrisyon sa mga tao, ito rin ay nagbibigay ng kabuhayan sa mga kapatid nating mandaragat (The tilapia culture in Lala will not only provide food and nutrition to people, but also livelihood to our fellow fishers),” he said.
