At 7:30 am, the patrollers of the day, Mr. Reysam Fontanilla and Julyn Cabradilla went to Poro MPA Watchtower
and we used the patrol boat.

-We arrived at the Poro MPA watchtower at 8:10 am.
-Reysam Fontailla used the patrol boat to conduct roving in the Poro MPA. Unfortunately, the latter spotted a
violator who is performing “kalaskas” which is considered illegal. So he talked and provided advice to the
-violator to move away from the MPA. The violator gave 4 freshly caught fish. Mr. Reysam said that he received
the fish as proof of the incident.
-At 11:30 am we went to LMPA to coordinate the incident since the alleged violator is a residing in Brgy. Lingsat.
