On May 2, Evee Dominguez, Bfar-10 officer-in-charge of the Fishing Management Regulatory Enforcement Division said Laguindingan is the first awardee where they gave P2-million worth of projects, and plaque of recognition. Ranked second is Bacolod, Lanao Del Norte, which will receive P1-million worth of projects and coming in third place is Mahinog, Camiguin and will receive P500-thousand worth of projects.
Assuncion commended the efforts of the local governments as well as its farmers and fisherfolk for making their waters clean for sustainable living.
