Executive Secretary Jovito M. Glodo, representative of Panabo City Mayor Jose L. Silvosa, Sr, stressed that this project is one of the poverty reduction programmes and encourages the group to register their association to the Department of Labor and Employment to avail livelihood assistance for business expansion.

Aquaculture Project Head, Aproniano Niñeza, said that he was proud of the CFA members due to their determination to pursue the project not only on tilapia production but also tilapia hatchery. He considered it as difficult because breeding fingerlings needs more monitoring and focus that is why he will do everything to help the group.

Last April 21, 2014 during the Araw ng Consolacion, CFA just harvested 254 kilos of tilapia which motivated them to continue their endeavor in helping others who have difficulty in starting their tilapia business.
