MARIVELES, Bataan—This town, which hosts the Freeport Area of Bataan, is building a P19-million fish port in Barangay Poblacion to help the local fishing community, with Mayor AJ Concepcion opening the project for bidding.
“Mayor AJ has requested the project from the national government to help fisherfolk as well as local fish traders,” said Jaypee Jalos of the Office of the Mayor.
Concepcion, Councilor Harry Golocan, OIC Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator Engineer Gladys Dacion, and OIC Municipal Agriculturist Marlyn del Mundo recently went to the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority to ask for the project. Golocan is chairman of the Committee on Agriculture of the Sangguniang Bayan.
