EASTERN Samar Rep. Christopher Sheen Gonzales has filed two bills seeking the construction of modern fishports with ice plants and cold storage facilities in the coastal towns of Dolores and Oras in his home province.
Gonzales said the proposed facilities will help local fishermen reduce their post-harvest losses, preserve the quality of their catch, and improve access to wider markets.

House Minority Leader and 4Ps party-list Rep. Marcelino Libanan co-authored the twin measures.
“These fishport projects are long overdue investments in our seaside communities. Our fisherfolk deserve the same level of infrastructure support that we provide to farmers. We owe it to them to ensure their hard work does not go to waste,” Gonzales said.
