Your Request You asked for List of milkfish farms in Binangonan, Rizal. Response to Request While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance this Office does not have the databank of information you have requested. We coordinated with our milkfish alternate Focal Person and with our Provincial Fisheries Officer in Rizal. According to them, it is the Local Government Unit that issues permit to operate a milkfish farm. Registration of milkfish farms with BFAR (where permit to operate is one of the requirements) is just voluntary among farm owners. That is, if they want to strengthen linkage with other stakeholders. Thus, for a complete list of milkfish farms in Binangonan, Rizal. You may address your concerns to: Mr. Erwin L.
