A joint PNP-Bantay Dagat Sea-Borne patrol arrested two fishermen who were caught using illegal fishing gears in the seawaters of barangay Guiwanon.

The team apprehended Pedro Cabahug ang Marlon Cagais, both based at Burgos St., Tagbilaran City, who used an electric shiner which electrified a fish trap locally known as “payao.”

Municipal Ordinance 479 prohibits the use of illegal fishing gears along the municipal waters.

PO3 Carlito Cahayag led the patrol together with PO1 Mario Dapitilla, and Bantay-Dagat enforcers Narciso Yap and Nicomedes Baluma.

The raiding team that operated Tuesday night was composed of PO3 Curayag, PO1 Dapitilla, PO1 Victor Majomot, Jr., Yap of the Bantay-Dagat, and Barangay Tanod Meracleo Elcana, Jr.

In both operations, the police used the technology of global positioning system (GPS).

On the other hand, Mayor Evasco also created on Tuesday last week, the Waterworks Services Management Office (WSMO) and the General Services Office (GSO), both under the Office of the Mayor.

During the meeting of the waterworks personnel on Thursday afternoon last week, Mayor Evasco announced the designation of waterworks in-charge Ric Nacorda as manager and Engr. Nestoria Flores as the new general services officer.
