Banate Bay Boat Launching Ceremony


No prefabrication happening here

The Provincial government donated materials for the fisherfolk to build boats in our community after typhoon Yolanda hit last year. Having just been finished, the official launching was held recently for two different municipalities along our bay. 

These included Anilao (where Lauren works) and Barotac Nuevo (the neighboring municipality).  Some of these boats are larger than others and some have motors and some don't. What's amazing is all of these were hand made by the fisherfolk. It is an art form that is still very much alive within the communities.
