The world of ancient
fishing of the People of
Pantukan
The Ancient Fishing Industry
The people of
Pantukan were also known to
be fishermen who develop a
great knowledge in fishing.
During those times there was
an undeniable richness of sea
and aquatic resources. That is
why water became one of
their main sources of living.
The sea served as the traditional fishing zone of the
It is one of their main sources of living. The people
of Pantukan in the ancient have no limits of
boundary when it comes to fishing activities. This is
where they commonly take their baths, train their
siblings in swimming, row a boat, fishing and gather
seashells.
TOOLS FOR ANCIENT FISHING
Sinipit (Anchor/Angkla)
A traditional device made of wood attached with a stone on one end and a
metal hook in the opposite end used to hold the bangay to stay in a particular
place in the water.
Bugsay (Paddle)
A long wooden pole on one end and is made flat on the other end used both for steering
and speeding the banca.
Materials used for Fishing
Banan
It is a traditional bowl made from a bamboo tree used in storing provisions and fishing
materials. This bowl can also be used in stocking caught fishes by the hook and line method
Urgos, Sikpaw and Antipara
❑Urgos is an average size of stone used for fast sinking of the baits for catching fishes.
❑Sikpaw, on the other hand, is made of a rounded steel bar directly connected to its
handle which can either be a steel or a piece of wood or bamboo with a cylindrical net
downward attached to the rounded steel. This is used by fishermen for quick catching of
fish in the ancient times and even up to this time .
❑Antipara is a traditional swimming goggles usually made up of wood.
Ulang-ulang
This is a shrimp-formed made of wood with five fingers and five mini- metal hooks at the
tail-end of it that is used to catch squids.
Boobo
It is a man-made trap made out of bamboo used to trap fishes in the depth of waters. This
may catch different species of fish.
What is RA 8550 all
about?
Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998 (Republic Act
No. 8550). It is a declared policy to limit access to
the fishery and aquatic resources of the Philippines
for the exclusive use and enjoyment of Filipino
citizens.

ILLEGAL FISHING
• Bottom trawling-
• is an industrial fishing method in
which a large net with heavy
weights is dragged across
the seafloor, scooping up
everything in its path. These nets
are capable of destroying
enormous swaths of
fragile seafloor habitats, including
fragile cold-water coral and
sponge ecosystems.
BYCATCH
Bycatch occurs because modern fishing gear is
very efficient, often covers an extensive area,
and can be highly unselective—it catches not
only the target species but many other marine
animals as well. Poor fisheries management in
certain countries further contributes to the
problem. Widespread pirate fishing ignores
regulations on net mesh sizes, quotas,
permitted fishing areas and other bycatch
mitigation measures.
BLAST FISHING
Blast fishing, also known
as dynamite fishing, is a
highly destructive, illegal
method of
catching fish which
uses dynamite or other
types of explosives
to send shock-waves
through the water, stunning
or killing fish which are
then collected and sold.
GHOST FISHING/NET
Ghost nets OR fishing nets that have
been left or lost in the ocean by
fishermen. These nets, often nearly
invisible in the dim light, can be left
tangled on a rocky reef or drifting in
the open sea. They
can entangle fish, dolphins, sea
turtles, sharks, dugongs, crocodiles, s
eabirds, crabs, and other creatures,
including the occasional human
diver.[1] Acting as designed, the nets
restrict movement, causing starvation,
laceration and infection, and
suffocation in those that need to return
to the surface to breathe.
CYANIDE FISHING
Cyanide fishing is a method of collecting
live fish mainly for use in aquariums,
which involves spraying a
sodium cyanide mixture into the
desired fish's habitat in order to stun
the fish. The practice hurts not only the
target population, but also many other
marine organisms, including coral and
coral reefs.
MURO-AMI
• As the corals are repeatedly smashed, the marine ecosystem is
irreparably destroyed, as most species of coral take years to recover
from even the smallest damage. In the best case scenario, the reefs
affected by muro ami fishing will take hundreds of years to recover. In
the worst cases, they will never regenerate.
OVERFISHING
• Overfishing is catching too many
fish at once, so the breeding
population becomes too depleted
to recover. Overfishing often goes
hand in hand with wasteful types
of commercial fishing that haul in
massive amounts of unwanted
fish or other animals, which are
then discarded.

Crops
• Food crops, such as fruit and vegetables, are
harvested for human consumption. Grains, such as
corn, wheat, and rice, are the world's most
popular food crops. Food crops were the first crops to
be harvested through agriculture.
•The agriculture sector has a significant share in
the provincial economy as it has utilized 30.15
percent or 140,691.0 hectares (ha) of the total
land area for the various agricultural crops,
fisheries and livestock. The land area planted
with major crops in the province with its
corresponding annual production and average
yield per hectare.

The mining industry of Pantukan
The evolution of mining industry in pantukan
• The evolution of the strategic drivers of the mining sector has followed global
trends and public opinion, but they also have been shaped by the significant
role that the mining sector plays in a country’s economies. These drivers serve
as an impact of the significance of mining projects. In the Philippines, mining
industry is considered as a potential key driver of growth. Mines and
Geosciences Bureu (MGB) noted that the country is ranked top five in the world
for overall mineral reserves, second in gold and third in copper resource with an
estimated value of 1367.0 billion US dollar (ANZCHAN,2013).
• In 2011, the gross production value for metallic minerals was Php122.58 billion
($3billion), of which Php63.14 billion ($1.6billion) came from gold production.
Despites the improved earnings of mining industry over the years, however, its
contribution to the gross domestic product remain insignificant ranging merely from
0.6 to 1.0 percent of the GDP in 2012 (Senate Economic Planning-Philippines, 2013).
• Main reason is the unregulated illegal mining operations wherein based on the
record of MGB there are only 34 producing mines in the Philippines in 2011, which
tantamount of saying that the industry is quite small. Given this reality, the
primordial challenge of the government today is to expand economic benefits of
mining industry. Strategies and programs has to be identified that would maximize
and broaden the economic linkages in the upstream, downstream and side stream.
Thank you!.....
