Please allow me to extend my deep gratitude to BFAR-CAR family for making another milestone by remaining firm on their thrust. It takes great effort to achieve a remarkable and productive year in the

fishery sector because of the devastating catastrophes that have happened. Despite the treacherous terrain of the region, our people from CAR never fail to give assistance by reaching out to the people in need. I commend them for helping out by providing on food, technical assistance and educational support. I also applaud the collaborative efforts among our counterparts. The public-private partnership (PPP) and convergence of initiatives indeed strengthened our developmental framework towards sustainable fishery industry in the country. On this note, I would like to remind ourselves that there is still much more work to do if we want to achieve our goals as a bureau. I am counting on our hard-working people of CAR to help us reach in this endeavor.

Congratulations for a job well done!

As the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Cordillera region continues to draw additional noteworthy year, here comes another worth celebrating breakthroughs-our 2011 accomplishments.

We are still on our height of putting the region in the list making fish viably cultured in the mountains. With the bureau’s enduring operations and approaches in attaining its mandate to prevail, one of our top priorities is not only to increase fish production in the region but to act as a catalyst for sustainable development in fisheries, thus can be proven in terms of our achievements.

This year, Cordillera registered 3.55% increase from that of 2010. These figures constitute the basis of continuing improvement, indicative of a positive growth.

We are also gratified with the news that Mr. Danilo C. Trongco, a native of Abra, wins the National Gawad Saka search as an Outstanding Fisherfolk in fish culture category despite the hurdle competitions. Also, Mr. Trongco was chosen as the Regional Fisherfolk Director under the Fisherfolk Directors Program for a more strengthened partnership in fisheries management.

Our eagerness to accelerate technology transfer persist through the establishment of different techno demos in the provinces which is now being maintained and operated are now of great help in optimizing fingerling production.

These projects mean everything. We work to fervently reach our exceeding goals and believe that inspite of our limited resources, someday CAR will prevail! The development of these endeavors will remain reaffirmed as we move towards fish suficiency.

Hence, production, conservation and management is deemed part of the bureau’s thrust in providing the fisherfolk and other fish enthusiasts with fingerlings to promote sustainable fish farming.

The table shows that tilapia is the major species produced followed by common carp. The other species includes Japanese weather fish or yu-yu, pangasius and ornamental fish.

Breeders of tilapia used are the genetically improved strains produced by the National Freshwater Fisheries Technology Center in Muñoz, Nueva Ecija.

A total of 5,230,351, as shown in the table, fingerlings of tilapia, carp and other species were produced of which 4,174,765 fingerlings were dispersed. This noted an increase of 3.8% from the previous production.

The increase in production can bring CAR a step higher towards fish adequacy in the region.

In making CAR a fish sufficient producing region, BFAR continues to manage and conserve fishery resources through its banner programs and commitments in eradicating poverty and hunger.

B. Input Assistance

As an alternative way of augmenting fish production in the region, a total of 600,000 Tilapia fingerlings, 65,500 Pangasius fingerlings, and 46,300 catfish fingerlings were purchased as input assistance. This gave a total number of 712,000 fingerlings.

These were equally distributed among the six provinces benefiting our fish farmers. Likewise, as seen in Figure 3 tilapia fingerlings were equally distributed among the provinces.

Pangasius on the other hand is a promising venture in aquaculture since it was introduced in CAR in 2008 to increase inland fish production.

Thus, to support and promote the new species, the bureau dispersed pangasius to the provinces. Ifugao, Abra and Kalinga received 20,000, 5,500 and 5,000 fingerlings respectively. Apayao province was dispersed the highest number of pangasius with a total of 35,000 fingerlings.

Some of these are being reared as breeders. Along with this pangasius hatcheries have been established in Lamut, Kalinga and Apayao.

Meanwhile, the distribution of catfish fingerlings add the totality of the assistance. Benguet province was allocated the highest number with 20,000 fingerlings followed by Abra with 13,500, 10,000 fingerlings in Kalinga and 3,000 fingerlings in Mt. Province.

The allocation of these fingerlings paved way to speed up production in the region in support to the region’s battle of food security.

Ensuring a more sufficient production, the bureau procures quality-produced fingerlings for allocation in each provinces.

C. Fishing gears/paraphernalia distributionTo increase and manage the fish catch of our fisherfolk, we deliberately respond to their needs in terms of distributing fishing gears. It is a fundamental aspect of succesful fishing to provide our fish farmers with different fishing methods that are in tune with good fishing practices.

In the region, these fishing gears include the use of gill net, siene net and cast net. Gill nets are vertical panels of netting normally set in a straight line. In this method, fish may be caught three ways : wedged, gilled, or tangled.

A total of 155 units of gill nets were distibuted with 50 units each in Ifugao and Benguet; 35 units in Apayao; and 10 units each in Abra and Kalinga. The allocation of fishing gear paraphernalia units depend on the needs of the individual fishpond operators and the applicability of the units requested in their area.

Another method is the use of seine net. It is usually hang vertically in the water with its bottom edge held down by weights and its top edge buoyed by floats. There were a total of 36 seine nets distributed with the following distribution: 10 units each in Ifugao, Kalinga and Mt. Province while four and two units in Apayao and Benguet respectively.

Moreover, cast net is a circular net with small weights distributed around its edge. It is thrown by hand in such a manner that it spreads out on the water and sinks. A total of 22 units of cast net were distributed with 10 units in Ifugao; five units each in Abra and Kalinga and two units in Apayao.

On the other hand, there were six units of non-motorized banca distributed, four units in Ambuklao Dam, Benguet and two units in Magat Dam, Ifugao.

This project benefited a total of 219 individual fish farmers to further improve and mainstream the fishing activities in Cordillera.

E. Aquaculture for

In its massive advocacy on fishery development, CAR continues to establish techno-demo projects to create a venue where fish farmers see first hand technologies that they can adopt or modify to suit their conditions.

It is also hope that through these technology demonstration projects, farmers will continue to strengthen their linkages with each other especially in the sharing of knowledge and marketing of produce.

Rural Development

BFAR-CAR remains determined in its effort to address the needs of clients for the utilization and conservation of our region’s fisheries and aquatic resources in searching marginal lands feasible for fish production.

2011 Annual Report


Establishment of Techno Demonstrations

Integrated Farming System

As it is, the bureau still focus on the Rice plus Fish culture wherein tilapia is being integrated in the rice paddies using 10% of the total surface area. The said portion of the paddy is purposively constructed as a waterway for fish to stay whenever water of the paddy field runs down. This way rice and fish are grown at the same time.

Most of the time, this technology provides the fish farmers another source of living aside from rice farming in times when water is abundant. This year, the bureau had accomplished a total of 16 Integrated Farming Systems regionwide. In Abra, these are located in its five municipalities, two in Apayao, two in Benguet, three in Ifugao and four in Kalinga.

Hence, the region accomplished 16 out of the 14 targets registering a 16% above the target.

Integrated Farming System

Since Cordillera is known for its rice terraces and farming as a major livelihood, an alternative to maximize production is the integration of fish in the rice paddies.

To maximize the use of water in the Cordillera, the bureau continues to establish fish cage projects along the bodies of water in Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao and Kalinga. This year a total of 12 fish cage projects were established, registering 50% above target.

In developing marginal area into aquaculture, the region accomplished 10 Cluster Backyard Fishpond projects implemented in 10 municipalities in Abra.

Freshwater Fish Cage

Establishment and Operation of Fishery-related infrastructure

For a more improved quality of dried fish, 11 units of elevated solar dryer were constructed to improve post harvest handling of fish. This facility will prolong the shelf life of the fish stored in the dryer. Also, it prevents the flies to enter the storage area hence lessen the tendency of microbial contamination.

Seven elevated solar dryers were distributed in Ifugao and one each in Benguet, Kalinga and Apayao. Ifugao got the most because of the higher volume of fish produced in the province. One remained at the regional office for demonstration purposes.

1. Aquaculture Training

A. Provision of Trainings

To continuously uplift the socio-economic status of small fisherfolk, trainings on aquaculture is one among the methodologies being undertaken.

Aside from the aim of increasing production, the training also supports aquaculture efforts and priority programs that would help enhance livelihood of the locals and as a source of food. Most fisherfolk are informed about the new scientific methods in fishery technology such as pond culture of catfish and culture of different species suitable to the terrain of CAR.

This year, out of the six targeted trainings, seven were accomplished. A total of seven trainings were conducted in Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao and Kalinga with 277 participants.

Serving the training, good aquaculture practices are discussed and the value of resource manegement and conservation are inculcated.

This development has been the transformation to a more informed and knowledgeable individuals in fishery activities. Hence, this has been the struggle of BFAR to bridge the gap between the information rich and information poor of our fisherfolk.

2. RA 8550 Law Enforcement

3. Post-Harvest and Techno-Demo Lecture

For a greater understanding of what is being stated in Republic Act 8550 otherwise known as the Philippines Fisheries Code of 1998, trainings on law enforcement were conducted to guide the fisherfolk on fishery laws.

The policies have been reiterated to discuss the rights of fisherfolk as well as the protection and conservation of fishery resources towards the attainment of food security. Some of the lectures being discussed were Historical Development of Philippine Fisheries Legislation prior to RA 8550, scientific examination of fish caught by means of explosives and the duties and responsibilities of Deputy Fish Warden.

These lectures keep the fisherfolk aware about what is being permitted from that of being prohibited on the methods and practices of fishing and thus, informing them the rules in protecting the resources.

A total of six lectures and orientations rendered in Abra, Apayao, Kalinga and Mt. Province with 247 participants were conducted.

In developing skills of fisherfolk efficiently, several trainings regarding improved and modern methods of fish handling, fish procesing and product packaging were conducted to further improve human potential.

Most participants were housewives, teachers, students, out of school youth and other fish processors who wish to learn new ideas, techniques and proper ways of handling fish.

Pangasius fish was used during the demonstrations. The demo started from the steps in processing fish such as cleaning or filleting, gutting and removal of skin.

Participants had hands-on-training during the demonstrations. Cooked value added products were taste tested by participants every after cooking. Steps in processing pangasius fish were demonstrated followed by the cooking of raw materials of fish recipes such as fish sisig, sausage, loaf, kikiam and balls.

Also, preparation of tilapia recipes was done starting from the first steps such as tilapia filleting/marinating/drying or tilapia smoking. The recipes that were cooked are fish tapa, fish burger and fish tocino.

B. Project LaunchingTo promote aquaculture in the region, one among the strategies employed by BFAR is the conduct of different project launchings where efforts among LGUs, BFAR and other stakeholders are emphasized in gathering the public to attend the launchings. This year, to show fishery projects implemented, invitations to the national and regional constituents as well as the local communities had increased number of people being involved in the activity.

With this, the bureau had launched five projects. These were: three Palaisdaan sa Paaralan, Launching of Upland Aquaculture project in Tuba, Benguet and the launching of Hatchery in Lagangilang, Abra.

The Cordillera Region has been consistently considered as one of the highest number of hungry people in the country. However, development materialized through the ingenuity of the Cordillera farmers and their willingness to learn new technology.

Youth on the other hand are the future leaders of our community that will be the inheritors of such development. Their participation and involvement is nurtured through the education institutions. To make them realize the importance of such progress, they are taught to care on things visible and instrumental for people’s survival.

Through partnership, BFAR-CAR programs are shared with the Department of Education (DepEd) to further promote aquaculture technologies for the student to experience and appreciate the life given gifts of the environment.

Communication in the context of aquaculture can be seen through nonformal education (trainings), community organizing and other communication approaches such as: Participatory Rural Appraisal; Action Research; Social Mobilization and Development Communication; Technology Transfer; Social Marketing; Community Assessment; Situational and Needs Assessments; and Training Program and Management.

Communicators are basically carried by researchers, extension workers, agricultural technologists (AT), and information officers. Though, for some provinces which do not have information officers, AT are the ones responsible for the communication process. And receivers are usually fisherfolk, students, and interested organizations.

of IEC Materials

E. Dissemination and Provision

Communication is an essential part of imparting ideas, information and knowledge to the end users to let them be updated in the current situation. In the region,we interpersonally communicate not only to convey services and products but also educate the clienteles with technical know-hows through the available medium (quad media). The region distributed a total of 11,526 pieces of IeC materials.

2011 Annual Report


Bureau Fisheries and Aquatic Resources-Cordillera Administrative Region (BFAR-CAR) implemented Provincial Fisherfolk Assembly (PFA) in the six provinces of Cordillera and conducted the Fisheries and Aquatic Resource Management Council (FARMC) Organizing and Strengthening in Tinongdan, Itogon Benguet.

This aimed to develop capacity building and enhanced leadership and involvement to fisherfolk activities. It was also an avenue for the fisherfolk to harness camaraderie among themselves. The activity was also to monitor the status of the organization for possible help and linkages from other organizations.

Furthermore, the prescribed municipal fisherfolk profile was accomplished to be used during the trainor’s training on the computerization of fisherfolk profile for the whole region and the country as well.

On the other hand, the Tinongdan fisherfolks together with the representatives of the local government unit were oriented on the legal basis on of FARMC organizing and strengthening.

A. Fish HealthManagement& Inspection

To ensure fish health management in CAR, national

and regional fish disease research programs are continuously develop to further monitor

and prevent the occurrence of diseases.

Water quality analysis, on site investigation, disease diagnosis are conducted prior to pond utilization to check if the desired amount of pH, dissolve oxygen and other water parameters are suitable for fish production.

This year, due to the alarming allegations on fish kill which happened in Batangas, the region conducted fish kill investigation to assure our consumers that fish and fishery products sold to market are safe to eat.

Also, the bureau built a strong collaboration with the City Health Office (CHO), Provincial Health Unit (PHU) and the Department of Health (DOH) to inform the public regarding issues on aquatic products.

Furthermore, inspection at the public market has been made to monitor shell fish coming from adjacent provinces of Pangasinan and Zambalaes. This shell fish includes Acetes sp. or alamang, tahong and other aquatic products affected by red tide.

Registration of Aquaculture Farms aims to eliminate all prohibited drugs and chemicals employed in aquaculture.These drugs and chemicals ingested by fishes during culture period remains in the fish flesh have harmful effects to fish eaters.

The farms were sampled for testing on prohibited drugs existing fish diseased and implementation of good aquaculture practices. The farms were required to observe record keeping to ensure availability of complete data on farm inputs such as feeds, chemicals, fingerlings, harvests, and markets for traceability of the causes of complaints from the consumers.

The farms are sampled twice a year to ensure the safety of fish consumers. Farm owners are required to submit at least one kilo of their produce to the laboratory for residue sampling

DJ Aquaculture Farm, T. Guzon Aquaculture Farm and

Doris Grow Out ‘n Hatchery Aquaculture Farm were

successfully registered under the Bureau of Fisheries and

Likewise, fisherfolk individuals were identified as the one who will carry out the tree planting. To sustain the project, advocacy on Inland Fisheries Management was simultaneously conducted to educate the fisherfolk.

A total of 120,000 saplings of Narra, Molave, Mahogany, Bamboo and other species were allocated in CAR, 20,000 pieces of which are equally distributed in each province. This project will not only protect watersheds but also conserve fishery and aquatic resources and ensure water sufficiency in CAR for future generations.

Meantime, only Apayao, Ifugao and Kalinga were identified as sites for the tree planting for 2011.

For the efficiency of implementing the bureau’s Inland Fishery Resource Management and Conservation through Tree Planting of Watersheds in Cordillera, series of consultative meetings were purposely conducted to convene with the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officers (PENROs), Community Environment and Natural Resources Officers (CENROs), Local Government Units (LGUs), Barangay Captains, Municipal Agricultural Officers (MAOs) and other stakeholders to successfully implement the project.
