SUAL, Pangasinan (July 30, 2026)—President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Thursday inspected the newly rehabilitated and modernized PFDA-Sual Fish Port (PFDA-SFP), highlighting the national government’s continued investment in fisheries infrastructure to strengthen food security, improve post-harvest systems, and support the livelihoods of Filipino fisherfolk.Implemented by the Department of Agriculture (DA), through the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA), the modernization project has transformed one of Northern Luzon’s key fisheries hubs into a modern facility designed to reduce post-harvest losses, improve fish distribution, and strengthen the country’s fisheries value chain.
The project involved the rehabilitation and expansion of the fish port, including the upgrading of its old pier and related facilities, further enhancing its capacity to support the fisheries industry and the efficient movement of fishery products across the region.
During the inspection, President Marcos, together with Agriculture Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr. and PFDA Acting General Manager Atty. Glen A. Pangapalan, toured the upgraded facilities and received a briefing on the improvements made to enhance fish handling, cold storage, processing, and overall port operations. The visit underscored the administration’s continuing efforts to modernize fisheries infrastructure and strengthen the efficient movement of fishery products from landing sites to markets. ### (Photos by Darrel Gultia, OSEC Comms)
