Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Region 3 distributed 594,600 tilapia fingerlings to fish farmers in Tarlac on Thursday. The fingerlings, valued at ₱267,570, were part of the agency’s rehabilitation assistance for farmers who suffered losses from Typhoons Crising, Emong and Dante, as well as the enhanced Southwest Monsoon (Habagat). Beneficiaries included fish farmers in Tarlac City and the municipalities of Capas, San Jose, Pura, San Clemente, Camiling and Paniqui. BFAR Region 3 said the distribution aims to help affected farmers restore their livelihoods and increase tilapia production in the region. Central Luzon is the country’s leading tilapia‑producing area, accounting for more than 57 percent of the Philippines’ total tilapia output. Pampanga, Bulacan and Nueva Ecija are among its major producers. Aquaculture represents about 80 percent of the region’s total fisheries production. Repeated calamities—including severe typhoons, the Southwest Monsoon and past events such as the Mount Pinatubo eruption—have repeatedly disrupted agriculture, infrastructure and regional trade. BFAR continues to provide support and livelihood programs to help the region’s fish‑farming industry recover from this year’s disasters.
