MAITUM, Sarangani (June 2, 2022) – Some 50 anglers from all over Maitum join the first-ever fishing tournament on May 31 at Barangay Mabay. The competition has two categories; the biggest catch and the most catch. Winners received fishing essentials like rods, reels, lures and rattlers. Eric Marasigan, organizer said, “ang objective ng tournament is to give awareness sa tamang pangangalaga ng ating yamang dagat.” He added “fishing using rod and reel ay pili lang ang makukuhang isda which means yung maliliit na isda ay mabibigyan pa ng chance para lumaki.” He also expressed his gratitude to all the sponsors who took part in the realization of the event. “On behalf of all the organizers and participants, nagpapasalamat kami kay Mayor Bryan Reganit sa suportang ibinigay niya for the event and we hope na mas lalaki at mas makikilala pa ang fishing di lang dito sa Maitum kundi sa buong Sarangani,” Marasigan said.
