TSI teaches sustainable fishing
A TOTAL of 87 fishermen from the host communities of AboitizPower subsidiary Therma South, Inc. (TSI), were given training on safe and sustainable fishing practices in a bid to ensure their safety at sea.
“There are times that fishing at sea becomes unsafe if there are sudden changes in the weather patterns or if the boat experiences mechanical problems. Thus, we are conducting this activity so that when you go out to fish, you can be assured of their safety,” said Jason C. Magnaye, Therma South (TSI) Corporate Social Responsibility Manager to the local fisherfolks during the opening program.
There were two sets of training held each for the local fishermen.
The first training was held on September 2 and 6, 2016 at the Binugao Ba- rangay Hall, Toril, Davao City. Participants came from the two host communities of TSI, Barangay Binugao in Davao City and Barangay Inawayan, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur.
Meanwhile, the second training was held on October 1 and 8, 2016 at the Sirawan Barangay Hall and was attended by the fishermen from the same barangay.
Discussions on the usage of the WeatherPhilippines mobile and web application and understanding the weather was given during the first day of the training. PR
