The Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) is continuously adapting to the “new normal” approaches as it continuously fulfills its mandate and duty to all the stakeholders including personnel and Regional Fish Port clients.

Recently, the PFDA - Public Information Division (PID) launched the online program called “PFDA Bulletin”, a 1-hour virtual program streamed live via the official PFDA Facebook page where various topics and concerns are discussed with an expert resource person.

The launching coincides with the activities during the PFDA 44th Anniversary month.

For its maiden episode, PFDA Bulletin tackled “Health Updates: Dealing with COVID – 19 in the Workplace”, August 19.

Dr. Maritoni Jane A. Catan, PFDA Medical Consultant, served as the resource person for the topic.

Mr. Mc Christian Julius A. Macaranas II, OIC-PID; and Ms. Mary Anne Kristine R. Ramos, HRD Officer served as the moderators/hosts.

As more offices including government agencies like the PFDA opted for alternative work arrangements like working from home or shifting schedules, various initiatives are introduced particularly harnessing the power of the internet and social media. 

The PFDA aims to continuously reach its personnel and stakeholders despite limitations like physical presence and provide services through similar initiatives.

The “PFDA Bulletin” will be having its Episode 2 on August 26 which will cover updates on isDA ON THE GO project, food safety and activities implemented by the Food Safety and Environment Management Unit.
