The Philippine Statistics Authority reveals that our fisherfolk comprise the poorest sector in the country, with one in three of them living below the poverty line. In this episode, Teka Teka explores the struggles faced by the fisherfolk of the Visayas. Beyond the challenges of sea life, they reel with the impact of natural calamities, threats of displacement from reclamation projects, increased competition and intimidation by commercial fishers, and a lack of government support.
