GENERAL SANTOS — In Barangay Buayan, General Santos (GenSan) City, Elias and Virginia Navidad have spent decades fishing side by side. If not gunfire, jailA municipal ordinance in Glan in Sarangani barred fishers from General Santos from fishing, even if they carried permits. According to him and other fishers, these led to limited fishing grounds and leaner catches, pushing several fishers into crime. Fishworkers Solidarity, a federation representing tuna workers, fishers, aquaculture laborers and fish vendors, later negotiated with local governments. The federation now has 817 members in General Santos and 397 in Sarangani.
