A smokehouse for smoked fish
Muyot, Myla C. (National Fisheries Research and Development Institute, 2021)
The Sampaloc, Talisay Producers Cooperative, a women's group based in Barangay Sampaloc, Talisay, Batangas was identified as one of the program's beneficiaries of Increased Fish Productivity through Technology Promotion and Provision of Agricultural Support to Fisherfolk. The group was established in 2010 with 71 members comprised of 29 males and 42 females. Majority of the members are housewives of fishermen. Their products include smoked, marinated, and bottled fish-all made to order. The group has an existing unit of smokehouse with 60-70 kg bangus capacity which is enough to meet the demands of their clients who require large quantities of the product. They produce around 50-100 packs per week for exporters and wholesalers while only 10-30 packs per week for retailers. They needed a smaller smokehouse to accommodate orders of 20 kg or less of retailers because a large smokehouse entails higher operational costs. Hence, NFRDI-FFRDC provided a smokehouse with 20 kg capacity to support this need.

A thankful heart
Garcia, Lilian C. (National Fisheries Research and Development Institute, 2021)
The year 2021 ended with mixed memories. It was bombarded with various challenges and pressures. First, the spike of Covid-19 infections, which never get weary of mutating and evolving itself to the detriment of its human victims.The pandemic has become a big stumbling block in our pursuit for a more progressive economy and elevating the plight of many poor Filipinos who have been living in poverty. With the rising number of Covid-19 infected Filipinos, reaching nearly to three million, plus the thousands of mortalities, some may ask: Is there a reason or something to thank for?

Amidst Disasters: Taal Lake Fisheries at Present
Dela Cruz, Lea Mae; Santos, Francisco F. (National Fisheries Research and Development Institute, 2020)
The Taal volcano eruption last January 2020 has brought various degrees of damage to the lives of Batangueños, especially to those living around the Taal Lake. Almost a year after the disaster and with the COVID-19 pandemic still looming, how are the people and their fisheries livelihood coping? Damaged residences and livelihoods, changed landscape, displaced families−all bear witness to the Taal volcano's fury.
