Vice President Leni Robredo returned to San Jose, Occidental
Mindoro for the second time to bring more financial assistance from private
donors and GPS equipment from her flagship anti-poverty Angat Buhay program.
Robredo visited the 22 fishermen of Philippine
fishing boat Gem-Ver, whose boat was
rammed and sunk by a Chinese trawler in Recto Bank last June.
In her Facebook post, Robredo said the fishermen temporarily
turn to other ways to make a living after the destruction of their boat.
The fishermen were glad to accept the donations from the
private donors and from the office of the Vice President.
Aside from financial assistance, the fishermen also received
the all in one GPS tracking system and fishfinder, which will be attached to
the F/B Gem-Ver while it is being repaired.
“Sa ating pangako na
magbigay ng karagdagang tulong para sa mga mangingisda ng F/B Gem-Ver na
nawalan ng kabuhayan, bumalik tayo sa San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, ngayon
naman sa Isla ng Ilin, para maghatid ng tulong pinansiyal mula sa private
donors at kagamitang pandagat mula sa ating #AngatBuhay partners.”
“Dahil sa pagkasira ng
kanilang bangka, marami sa mga mangingisda ay nagnenegosyo ngayon at naghahanap
ng alternatibong hanapbuhay. Kaya naman laking tuwa nila nang iturnover natin
ngayon ang ilang all-in-one GPS tracking system at fish finder, mga equipment
na magagamit nila sa maliliit na bangka pansamantala habang kinukumpuni pa ang
F/B Gem-Ver. Sana ay makatulong ito sa kanilang paghahanap-buhay,” Robredo in her Facebook post.
