A GRAND SALUTE TO FISHERMEN AS MODERN-DAY HEROES IN THE KAPITAN KRESS BAYANING MANGINGISDA COMPETITION

It’s my great pride to witness a great event wherein we give honor and importance to our beloved fishermen. I don’t usually attend physical events especially on this time of pandemic but this one is an exception, since I was invited by my former client Mr. Lemuel Buenaflor, Director for Sales and Dealer Development of JGO Ventures Corporation, to witness the first ever Kapitan Kress BayaningMangingisda Competition. He even asked me to be one of the presenters for the 3rd winner.

The authorized distributor of Kress Elektrowerkzeuge in the Philippines, JGO Ventures Corporation, has made it a priority to assist Filipino development projects. Through the Kapitan Kress BayaningMangingisda Search 2021, the company, in collaboration with Kress, pays tribute to the valor and significant accomplishments of Filipino fishermen.

The Kapitan Kress BayaningMangingisda Search 2021 aspires to acknowledge the noble contributions of fishermen for others to emulate and draw inspiration from. Kapitan Kress BayaningMangingisda Search 2021, which began in October 2021, is by far the most comprehensive competition for Filipino fishermen in the country.

Mr. Dante Noces of Balaoan, La Union, was named the inaugural Kapitan Kress BayaningMangingisda Grand Winner on May 25, 2021, after defeating more than 50 nominees from across the country.

First Runner-Up was Bonifacio Mengullo of Rosario, Cavite. Rolando Pablo of Navotas, Manila, came in second place. Mr. Rolando Casipit of Luna, La Union, and Armando Bibat of Calamba, Laguna, were the third and fourth runners-up, respectively. The awarding event took place at Caloocan City’s Sobel Hotel.

Mr. Noces received P50,000 in cash (tax-free), a P50,000 fishing boat, a P30,000 Kress Nautica engine, a Kress Ambassadorship, a trophy, and a certificate.

The People’s Choice Award went to Mr. Noces as well. The online audience gave him the most video shares and votes.

Mr. Noces conceived and supervised the successful reproduction of the “maritangtang” or sea urchin to their place as an active leader of fishermen in Balaoan, La Union.

Miss Leony Gagni, Mr. Noces’ nominator, will be awarded a Honda TMX125 Alpha motorcycle with sidecar, a Kress generator set, and a certificate.

Miss Belle Santiago, Vice President of JGO Ventures Corporation, expressed her gratitude for the competition’s positive turnout, saying, “we owe the success of this program to our Filipino fishermen. We will continue to support our fishermen. Expect a better, more dynamic and more enriching Kapitan Kress BayaningMangingisda program in its second year. A grand salute to all our bayaningmangingisda.” And in the next months, the Kapitan Kress BayaningMangingisda Search 2022 (Year 2) will be launched.
