The 20th National Tuna Congress was a successful event that gathered more than a thousand participants from the tuna industry in the Philippines and abroad. The three-day congress, which runs from September 5-7, 2018 at the trade halls of the SM Mall GenSan, focused on the theme: “20 years and Beyond: Continuing Remarkable Convergence.”
The highlights of the congress were the trade exhibit, launching of SFFAII’s coffee table book, All About Handline Summit, the Launching of Tuna Management Plan (NTMP), and the turn-over of the eleven (11) resolutions to Sen. Cynthia Villar and other government agencies.
SFFAII gave recognition to the four pillars of the tuna industry, namely Domingo Teng, Joaquin Lu, Marfenio Tan and Dominico “Doming” Congson during the farewell dinner held at SM GenSan rooftop. SFFAII also gave recognition to industry partners who continue to support the programs and advocacies of the industry. The congress ended with a spectacular fireworks display during farewell dinner at the rooftop of SM GenSan.
The tuna congress is among the highlights of the city’s 2018 Tuna Festival.
