Chapter 543: Puerto Princesa
Gonzalez took everyone to taste the Philippine roast suckling pig, and Zhou Sen and Liu Dazhuang said that it was delicious after tasting it.
"I'll take you to see Puerto Princesa again, it's still very famous for coming to the Philippine port!"
Puerto Princesa is located in the east-central part of Palawan Island in the Philippines, on the southern shore of Flooda Bay, surrounded by the Sulu Sea, which becomes a natural barrier to the bay.
"Come to the port to see, it's still a busy scene, there are a lot of ships, come here to see, the mood is also open, look at the sea, look at the sea in the distance!"
"Yes, when you come to the Philippines, the port is a must, I have introduced the port last time, this port is also very famous, I will take you to visit again!"
Zhou Sen looked at the seagulls in the distance, chirping, hovering in the sky, and then looked at the port, everything was in order, and the workers were also busy on the dock.
The sea breeze blew slowly, and Zhou Sen felt very cold, so that he didn't feel hot.
"Before, I have taken everyone to the port to see the prosperity of the port, and I also feel that it is very promising. ”
Zhou Sen nodded, "Yes, you are really competent as a tour guide, you have taken us to many places, and the ports of the Philippines have also left us with a deep impression." ”
Gonzalez said: "The climate here, I have introduced it to you before, is still very good, it is still very suitable for human habitation, some places such as deserts, such as the North Pole, Antarctica, are too cold, and the places where there is a lack of water are really not suitable for human habitation." ”
"So to go to a place, first look at the climate of the place, then look at the geographical location of the place, but also look at the resources of the place, with natural resources, it is easy to develop, as the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to draft, what kind of resources, rely on the innate advantages to develop the economy. ”
Zhou Sen nodded, "Your analysis is reasonable, I think so too!"
"I'll take you to take a look, a field trip, in order to have an understanding, you have never been to the Philippines before, and your impression of the Philippines is only on the Filipino maid. ”
Zhou Sen smiled, "By the way, I've been in the Philippines for a while, and I haven't seen a Filipino maid yet, so I'll introduce the Filipino maid with an episode!"
"Hahaha, okay, this is also a feature of the Philippines, if you have a chance, I will introduce it to you!"
"Next, I'll take you for a walk, take a look, blow the sea breeze, and relax!"
"Okay!"
The south-west and north-east monsoons prevail and pilotage is available, but there are no port communication stations, port services include bunkering, motorboats, medical care, fresh water, provisions and repatriation, no ship repairs, dry docks, towing and sewage, anchorage ships southwest of Puerto Princesa can be turned in the harbor basin, and the "T" jetty extends into the harbor where ore is loaded by barges.
"The wharf is all about transporting goods, there is trade, some local specialties are transported to neighboring countries, or further afield to sell, and after the contract is signed, it is even better!"
The road that runs through the east coast is a trading center, a center for the export of copra copra, timber and rattan, a center for fishing and sawmilling, a chromium production nearby, an agricultural college, a game sanctuary and a bird sanctuary on the outskirts of the city.
"We introduced that there are coconut trees in the Philippines before, and the local coconut trees can harvest coconuts, and the coconut can produce coconut water, and the coconut water can be made into beverages and sold all over the world.
"The rattan is really very good, very strong, there is a forest, the rattan is pure nature, there are farmers hand-collected, and there are craftsmen hand-made all kinds of rattan supplies, and the products made are still very popular with customers. ”
The Philippines has thousands of small islands, surrounded by the sea, which is the main reason for the abundance of fishery resources.
Fishery resources in the sea are not like mineral resources, which can only be fixed, because fish can swim, although marine fish are usually habitually distributed in populations, but one of the characteristics of natural organisms is that they have the flexibility to survive, and if it is not easy to survive in a certain sea area, marine fish populations will migrate naturally.
Fishery resources refer to the total number of economic animals and plants such as fish, shrimp, crabs, shellfish, algae and sea mammals with development and utilization value.
The Philippines is rich in aquatic resources, with thousands of species of fish, tuna resources in the forefront of the world, and a wide area of developed seawater and freshwater fisheries.
The natural source and foundation of fishery production, also known as aquatic resources, are divided into two categories: inland water fishery resources and marine fishery resources according to the water area, of which fish resources occupy the main position, and nearby fishermen rely on fishing for a living, relying on the income from selling fish to support their families and maintain their livelihoods.
Therefore, the development of fishery is also very important for ordinary people, who rely on this industry to support their families, and sometimes a fisherman engaged in this industry can feed a big old and small people.
Zhou Sen wanted to interview the local fishermen and ask for their opinions, and everyone also felt that listening to the feelings of the local fishermen would help to understand the development of the local fishery.
Zhou Sen found a fisherman, he was middle-aged, and asked, he was 38 years old and had many years of fishing experience.
"My father is also a fisherman, I am a son inherited my father's business, also engaged in this industry, for fishing, very emotional, relying on this job, to support the family, without fishing, it is difficult to imagine, what we can live on. ”
"Was your father also a fisherman?"
"Yes, my father was also a fisherman, and our generation of young people is better than my father's generation, and I often heard my father say that the old people of their generation go out to fish, and they have to take a lot of risks, and sometimes when a typhoon comes, they may not be able to come back when they go to sea. ”
"Some of our uncles and uncles in the neighboring village went out and met with accidents, and they never came back!"
"His father also encountered danger when he went to sea, the boat encountered wind and waves, capsized, he was lucky, he was washed to the shore by the waves, and the villagers found out and rescued him back to the village!"
"Speaking of these bitter past, it's really sad, to fish, it's really not easy, my father in order to support the family, but also tried his best, he was still desperate when he was young, but as a fisherman, he can only go to sea, hope to return with a full load, sell the fish, have money, in order to supplement life, after all, there are still wives and children at home, and the elderly, waiting for him to make money to support the family. ”
"Our generation of young people, although better than their parents, but they can't eat rice at home, they still have to rely on their own hard work, go fishing, sometimes, go to sea, or look at the weather forecast, if the weather is bad, don't go to sea, if the weather is good, go out fishing!"
