Visit to a Bangus Production Site in Glan, Sarangani
July 3, 2008Along with a colleague at work, I accompanied a USAID personnel in a site inspection to one of our projects in Bgy. Burias, Glan, Sarangani last month. It was my first time to go there since it is not my area of responsibility. It just happened that Dandy is not available so I was assigned to take-over. The barangay is on the southern tip of Glan located along the Sarangani Bay and the road going there was very muddy since it was raining the past few days. I also noticed the simple and quiet lifestyle of the communities we passed by.
The project we visited was a milkfish (bangus) production site. We plan on buying bangus and shrimps there as they are cheaper in the place so we purchased Styrofoam boxes filled with crushed ice at the Gen. Santos City public market. Upon arrival at the project site at around 2:00 PM, we were greeted by the project proponent leader. He related to us how they maintain and sustain the project assistance given to them. It was not yet harvest time but since we want to buy some bangus, they showed us how they do it using a fishnet.
Una eh papaluin ng leader ang takip ng kanyang galloon na parang tambol para makuha ang attention ng mga isda. Parang ritual ang labas! Pagkatapos eh papakainin nia ng mga feeds para maglapitan.
Papalibutan na ng lambat ang mga isda na lumapit sa pampang para macorner at mahuli. Hindi pa sanay mangisda ung anak nung leader kaya nataranta siya nung naglulundagan na ang mga isda! Tuwang-tuwa itong anak nung leader na nagpose sa harap ng aming mga camera habang pinapakita ang kanyang “precious catch”. Pagkatapos nilang mangisda eh agad nang inihaw ang mga bangus para aming kainin. First time ko ring nakakain ng kinilaw na bangus. Maya-maya eh inilabas na rin nila ang especialty of the house, alimango at mga pasayan! Ito sample nung alimango nila na talagang mataba, malaman at ang laki! Just compare my fingers to its claw! Umuwi kami na talagang busog na busog, eat-all-you-can talaga! Hindi na nga ako naghapunan eh. Nakabili din kami ng bangus at only P60/kilo. Ang mura di ba? P120/kilo sa amin eh. Bumili ako ng 5 kilos at ginawa kong tapa pagdating sa bahay.

Hello, gimingaw hinuon ko sa bangus dah! Gen San is really rich in different kinds of fish. One of the most popular is Blue Marlene (hehee, tama ba spelling?). And those huge crabs, luv it!

nakaka-mis ang bangus at alimango.. sa cotabato minsan, hinihingi lang namin sa mga mangigisda ang uulamin namin. simpleng buhay, parang ang dali lang.

@richard - mas gusto ko talaga ang alimango kaysa sa bangus. 
@rhoen - ok baya didto
@Marlene - blue marlin po un..
@dimaks - haha, simple nga lang talaga noon, unlike ngayon, very complicated na.. kahit simpleng bagay lang..
