The PFDA in-house training is led by the Information Technology Division under the Corporate Planning and Management Information Services Department (ITD-CPMISD). Mr. Michael Yu, from Kollab and DICT, served as the resource person and moderator.

It is participated by 59 personnel from the PFDA Central Office and nine (9) Regional Fish Ports – Bulan, Camaligan, Davao, General Santos, Iloilo, Lucena, Navotas, Sual, and Zamboanga.

The GSuite Training includes lectures on the use of various Google products like Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Meet, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Sites and Tasks. These products aid the use of business email, online file storage, shared calendars, and video meetings, particularly useful during alternative work arrangements like shifting schedules and working from home.
