₱5 MILLION FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SECURED FOR BANATE BLUE SWIMMING CRAB HATCHERY PROJECT 🦀

A significant milestone for the Municipality of Banate!

Through the support of the Iloilo Provincial Government led by Governor Arthur Defensor Jr., the Municipality of Banate has officially received ₱5 million in financial assistance for the establishment of the Banate Blue Swimming Crab Hatchery Project.

This funding will support the construction and initial development of the hatchery facility, a major step toward strengthening local blue swimming crab production, advancing sustainable fisheries practices, and creating more livelihood opportunities for our fisherfolk.

The project also serves as a strategic investment in sustaining “Kasag” — Banate’s One Town One Product (OTOP) — ensuring year-round production and a more stable supply to meet both local and market demand. Through this initiative, we continue to strengthen the foundation that keeps the Kasag Festival vibrant and meaningful every year.

Beyond fisheries development, this project reflects Banate’s long-term vision of becoming a center for sustainable aquaculture and tourism development, showcasing our rich coastal resources, local identity, and economic potential.

With this initiative, Banate moves closer toward:
✅ Stronger and more sustainable fisheries
✅ Expanded livelihood opportunities for fisherfolk
✅ Stable local food supply and economic growth
✅ Enhanced tourism and aquaculture development

The Local Government Unit of Banate extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Provincial Government of Iloilo for its continued support and commitment to sustainable development.

Together, we move toward a stronger fisheries sector, empowered communities, and a thriving future for Banate.
