今回の助成金について関係者であるLeo Brian Leuterio氏は、漁業関係者向けの小さな倉庫の建設などに利用されるほか、ダバオの昆布産業の生産力の向上に繋がるソーラー発電式の昆布乾燥機の購入にも充てられると語った。さらに同氏は、フィリピン漁業水産資源局(Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources)に対しても追加の漁船を要請していることを明かした。
また、農業省の管理下の「Philippine Rural Development Project」からは、ダバオで注目を集めているカカオの生産を支援する、新しい牽引トラック2台が与えられている。
Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
