GENERAL SANTOS CITY -- Government agencies have set up a new licensing
procedure for Philippine pumpboats (bancas) which bring in P2.5 billion
annually in exports, but which do not qualify as commercial fishing vessels
under existing maritime regulations.

The Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic
Resources (BFAR) signed recently an agreement relative to the registration,
documentation and licensing of more than 2,500 pumpboats which use  handlines
to fish for high-grade tuna in the Celebes Sea and international waters.
