NOVELETA, Cavite—The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Region 4-A, led by Regional Director Lilian Garcia, released funds for building of Fisherman’s Wharf or (Pandawan) in Barangay San Rafael IV.
Mayor Dino Reyes Chua received the budget worth P5.16 million from BFAR-R4-A reserved for the construction of fisherman’s hub.
The building will be built for the fishermen or namamalakaya, particularly in Barangay San Rafael where most inhabitants were fishermen and dried fish makers.
“The fisherman’s hub is for our fellow fishermen, so that they don’t go to neighboring town to peddle their fish catch or seafood,” said Chua.
“The soon to rise Noveleta fishport is closer to the market, wherein placed nearby the national road. Sigurado ako maraming mamimili ng isda ang darayo dito upang mamili ng nasabing produkto.” Chua added.
Fisherman’s wharf is known as the ‘Bulungan’ center of fishermen, like Navotas fishport, Parañaque fishport and Rosario fishport.
