THE local government unit of San Carlos, through the office of Mayor Renato Gustilo and Cooperatives and Livelihood Development Office (CLDO), has turned a P100,000 to Tapon Fisherfolk and Workers Association (TFWA) on Wednesday, November 10.

Merelie Destacamento, president of TFWA, said the amount was granted to TFWA by the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPA) under the Gender and Development Fund 2021.
