Pamalakaya national vice chairman Ronnel Arambulo said more than 20 small fishing boats will join in the fishing expedition that will start at around 4 p.m. and will end Friday at around 8 a.m. Before their departure, a send-off mass will be held along the shores of Barangay Collat at around 3 p.m. “This is a show of fishermen’s objection to China’s baseless fishing ban China that will encroach our territory,” Marabe added.
