Pacman teams up with the Alcantara Group to help revive Luzon Bangus stocks


MALAPATAN, Sarangani (June 13, 2011) – Rep. Manny Pacquiao and Alex Alcantara, Alsons Aquaculture Corporation executive vice president, look over Sarangani Prime Bangus products Monday, June 13, as Sarangani prepares to ship five million Bangus (Milkfish) fry to replenish Bangus stocks to Pangasinan and other areas in Luzon that were severely depleted by the recent fish kill phenomenon. Governor Migs Dominguez and Congressman Pacquiao are sending Bangus fry provided by Finfish Hatcheries based in Malapatan, Sarangani. Finfish Hatcheries along with Alsons Aquaculture Corporation form part of the aquaculture business unit of the Alcantara Group- the single biggest producer and processor of milkfish in the Philippines today- providing half of the country's bangus fry requirement. The Sarangani Bangus fry are expected to reach their intended beneficiaries within the next few days. (Cocoy Sexcion/SARANGANI INFORMATION OFFICE)
