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
