Compressor Banned in Puerto Princesa Palawan
« on: December 10, 2010, 07:31:35 PM »
Bantay Dagat (Baywatch), this city’s marine environment watchdog, is lobbying for an increase in penalty against fishermen who will be using banned compressors in their fishing activities.

Councilor Luis Marcaida III, chairman of the Committee on Ordinances and Legal Matters in the Sangguniang Panlungsod, said Bantay Dagat Component Manager Ian Marcelo requested for them to amend the section of the ordinance that penalizes violators.

Marcaida said this can only be done if public consultation is done prior to the amendment.

This week, his committee conducted a public hearing on the matter in coastal villages in Puerto Princesa to inform fishermen that they are inclined to amend the penalty.

Marcaida explained that the reason for the proposed increase in penalty, which amount is yet to be determined, is the fact that the number of fishermen using the banned compressor has increased this year.

Another hearing is set to be conducted next week by the committee in a different coastal barangay in Puerto Princesa, he furthered, to fully resolve the proposed amendment.

The Bantay Dagat’s main function is “the protection and conservation of the city’s marine ecology by waging an all-out drive against illegal fishing and related activities in its four strategic bays, namely: Puerto Princesa Bay, Honda Bay, Turtle Bay and Ulugan Bay.” (PNA)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
