Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. joined Pres. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Department of Agriculture Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr. during the inauguration and inspection of the upgraded Iloilo Fish Port Complex at Barangay Tanza Baybay, Iloilo City, today, August 13, 2025.
This P885.1 million modernization and capacity expansion project is spearheaded by the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA).
The Iloilo Fish Port Complex is the only PDFA regional fish port in the Visayas, a vital infrastructure which boosts the agro-fishery industry not only in Iloilo but the entire Western Visayas.
The port caters to fish catch from the coastal towns of Iloilo and nearby provinces of Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Guimaras, and parts of Negros.
