Tuna Congress all set!
Just got word from Aian Fredeluces, Executive Director of the Socksargen Federation of Fishing and Allied Industries, Inc. (SFFAII) that the 2010 National Tuna Congress is finally scheduled on September 2-3, 2010.
This time, the congress goes back to the newly-expanded and renovated Family Country Hotel and Convention Center which lies right behind the KCC Mall of GenSan and a stone’s throw away from Gaisano Mall of GenSan.
According to Aian, they have invited President Noynoy Aquino to give the Keynote Address, together with GenSan Mayor Darlene Antonino-Custodio, Representative Jun Acharon of the first district of South Cotabato and a few national cabinet secretaries to give speeches aside from the usual speakers dealing with various topics on the Fishery industry.
The theme for this year’s congress is “Be Counted… Face the Challenges and Make a Difference”, a timely one given the situation of the tuna industry in the country owing to the 2-year ban on fishing imposed on the large purse seiners by international regulatory bodies.
A Trade Fair and Exhibit will accompany the 2-day congress and here, one will find the latest technology, gadgets and equipment that fishing companies and tuna food processors may find beneficial to their existing businesses.
