PFDA-ZFPC keeps its unloading streak alive during the more stringent MECQ

With the Zamboanga Peninsula placed in a more stringent Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) until June 15, Philippine Fisheries Development Authority – Zamboanga Fish Port Complex aims to keep its unloading streak alive despite the dangers connected with the spread of the COVID-19 virus in the city. 

According to a centralized fish unloading report gathered by PFDA RFPs, Operations Services Department (OSD), and Public Information Division (PID), PFDA-ZFPC recorded 218.68 metric tons (MT) of fish, a three-time increase in its weekly unloading volume since mid-May.                                    

Of this total, matangbaka recorded the highest unloading at 43.25 MT. Sardines (tunsoy and tamban), goatfish, and bakid are also on the list of fish species with the most supply.

Amidst a stricter quarantine protocol, PFDA-ZFPC is committed to ensuring sufficient fish supply for all its consumers and assuring food security during this trying time.
