On 23 May, The Philippine Embassy in Brunei Darussalam joined Brunei’s Giant Freshwater Prawn Restocking Program in Sungai Labu, Temburong.

Representing the Embassy, Third Secretary and Economic Officer Jacqueline L. Ong attended the activity, where Brunei’s Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism led the release of 200,000 giant freshwater prawn larvae, locally known as udang galah, to help replenish local waters.

The program highlights how aquatic resource management can support food production, strengthen local fisheries, and open livelihood opportunities for agro-entrepreneurs and communities.

The Embassy supports initiatives that promote sustainable fisheries, food security, and stronger Philippines-Brunei economic linkages.
